Stainless Steel Cat Bowls
Non-porous, bacteria-resistant, and dishwasher safe — the most hygienic daily feeding option
Raised & Elevated Feeders
Tilted and raised bowls for comfortable neck position — reduces post-meal regurgitation
Automatic Cat Feeders
Programmable timed feeders for consistent, portion-controlled daily cat mealtimes
Cat Water Fountains
Flowing water fountains that encourage cats to drink more — vital for kidney health
Double Bowl Feeders
Combined food and water station — convenient dual-bowl sets for side-by-side feeding

🌟 Feeding Solutions
The Right Feeding Solution for Every Cat
🐱 Whisker Care
Cats with Whisker Fatigue
A cat that paws food out of the bowl onto the floor, eats only from the centre, or approaches their bowl with apparent reluctance is likely experiencing whisker fatigue. Switch to a wide, shallow bowl immediately.
💧 Hydration
Cats That Don't Drink Enough
Cats are naturally drawn to moving water — a flowing cat fountain dramatically increases daily water intake compared to a static bowl. Adequate hydration is critical for kidney health, which is the leading cause of death in senior cats.
🧸 Busy Owners
Working Cat Owners
Automatic feeders provide consistent, timed meals at the correct portions even when owners are at work, travelling, or unable to be home at feeding time — preventing overfeeding or long gaps between meals.
🛡 Senior Cats
Senior & Arthritic Cats
Raised and tilted feeders reduce neck bending to floor level during meals — significantly reducing neck and joint strain for older cats whose mobility and flexibility has reduced with age.
⚡ Fast Eaters
Cats That Eat Too Quickly
Puzzle feeders and slow-feeder bowls make cats work for their food, extending meal time and reducing the rapid eating that causes vomiting immediately after meals in some cats.
🍈 Multi-Cat
Multi-Cat Households
Provide one feeding station per cat — cats are solitary eaters by nature and eating near another cat causes stress, eating speed anxiety, and food guarding in multi-cat households.
💡 Feeding Tips
5 Essential Cat Feeding Tips Every Owner Should Know
1
Always Use Wide, Shallow Bowls
Cats' whiskers are highly sensitive mechanoreceptors — when they touch the sides of a deep bowl during eating, the stimulation causes discomfort and stress known as whisker fatigue. Wide, shallow bowls eliminate this completely and often resolve unexplained food avoidance.
2
Choose Ceramic or Stainless Steel
Plastic cat bowls develop microscopic scratches that harbour bacteria and can cause feline chin acne in sensitive cats. Non-porous ceramic and stainless steel bowls are significantly more hygienic, easier to clean thoroughly, and don't interact with sensitive skin.
3
Use a Water Fountain for Kidney Health
Cats evolved in arid environments and have a low thirst drive — they often don't drink enough from static water bowls. Flowing water in a cat fountain instinctively attracts cats to drink more, significantly supporting kidney and urinary tract health throughout their life.
4
Feed in a Quiet, Private Location
Cats are solitary eaters — they feel vulnerable while eating. Feed in a quiet, low-traffic location away from the litter tray. In multi-cat homes, feed each cat in a separate location to prevent competitive eating, stress, and food guarding between cats.
5
Wash Food Bowls Daily
Cat food — especially wet food — leaves bacterial residue that multiplies rapidly in warm environments. Wash the food bowl after every meal with hot soapy water. Many cats will refuse to eat from a dirty bowl that smells of old food, which owners often mistake for fussiness.

❓ Questions
Frequently Asked Questions – Cat Bowls & Feeders
What cat bowl and feeder styles does Things Square offer?+−
Things Square offers cat bowls and feeders across multiple styles — shallow whisker-friendly ceramic bowls, stainless steel cat bowls, raised and elevated feeders, automatic programmable cat feeders, cat water fountains, double bowl feeding stations, travel collapsible bowls, and puzzle feeders. All food-contact products are made from BPA-free, food-grade materials safe for daily cat feeding.
What is whisker fatigue and how do I prevent it?+−
Whisker fatigue is discomfort caused when a cat's highly sensitive whiskers repeatedly touch the sides of a narrow or deep food bowl during eating. Symptoms include pawing food out of the bowl, eating only from the centre, approaching the bowl tentatively, or walking away from food with apparent disinterest. The solution is switching to a wide, shallow bowl where the whiskers can extend beyond the sides without touching. Most cats show immediate improvement in eating behaviour with this simple change.
Do cats prefer running water?+−
Yes — most cats are strongly attracted to moving water. This preference evolved because in nature, moving water is fresher and less likely to be contaminated than stagnant pools. Many cats that appear to drink very little from a static bowl will drink significantly more from a circulating fountain. Adequate water intake is one of the most important factors in preventing the kidney disease and urinary tract problems that affect a very high proportion of senior cats. A cat water fountain is one of the most health-protective investments for a cat's long-term wellbeing.
What bowl material is best for cats?+−
Ceramic and stainless steel are the best materials for cat bowls. Both are non-porous, meaning they don't develop bacterial-harbouring microscratches over time. Ceramic has the additional benefit of being heavy and stable (cats can't easily push it around) and comes in whisker-friendly wide and shallow shapes. Stainless steel is extremely durable and dishwasher safe. Avoid plastic bowls — they scratch easily, harbour bacteria, and some cats develop chin acne from prolonged contact with plastic feeding equipment.
Are automatic cat feeders good for cats?+−
Automatic cat feeders are excellent for providing consistent, timed, and portion-controlled meals — particularly for working owners who cannot always be home at feeding time. Consistent meal times regulate a cat's metabolism and digestion, reduce meal-related anxiety, and help manage weight in overweight cats by controlling portion size precisely. Choose a feeder with programmable times, accurate portion control, a large enough hopper for your needs, and a battery backup for power cut protection. Always use for dry food only unless the feeder is specifically designed and refrigerated for wet food.
