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 |

Jill 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. Julie |

Raised Cat Feeding Station?
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 "jmcquown" wrote in message ...

Jill 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.

Jill 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

The girls have a raised feeder and a dish on the floor but all three seem to prefer the little stand. |
