Raised Cat Feeding Station?
 
What do you think? Now that I'm in the market for a nice big water dish
for Persia it occurred to me maybe she might benefit from a raised feeding
station.

She's not getting any younger so I was curious about something raised off
the ground so she doesn't have to hunker down to eat and drink. What's your
opinion?

Jill,
I gave Hobbes a raised feeding station and I think it helped him a
great deal. Before the raised feeding station he would lie down to
eat and struggle to get up. With the raised feeding station he could
just walk up and lower his head slightly to eat. I'm all for raised
feeding stations.

honestly i thought of that when you said she liked a deep dish, cats like
deep for two reasons, one is to play in it, which you haven't mentioned so
the other is so as not bend over, so i would go for it, even if she doesn't
exactly need it atm she will be used to it by the time she might, Lee

I found a nice deep ceramic water dish and also a raised feeder with two
stainless bowls. I'll give both of them a try. So far she's not really
missing the fountain action of the Drinkwell. She's content to drink from
the ceramic dish. I did get oversized bowls on the raised feeder so I won't
have to refill the water dish several times a day. We'll see which ones she
prefers! Thanks.

My cat dishes are in a sort of rack, so they are not entirely resting on
the floor. However, since they sometimes tend to remove food from the
dishes to the floor, and eat it from there, I'm not sure the dishes
prevent "hunkering down".

I think I might get one of those myself- in the vain hope it'll stop
both of them dragging choice morsels onto the feeding mat or the floor

It doesn't keep them from nosing the kibble out of the dish and onto
the floor... where it immediately becomes invisible and inedible by
their standards! The girls have a raised feeder and a dish on the
floor but all three seem to prefer the little stand.
