Product Description
Dr.Catsby's food bowl for cats
Does your cat suffer from whisker fatigue?
Does your cat display behaviors such as leaving food behind, not finishing his meal, loss of interests in food, or pawing food out of the bowl to eat on the floor? If so, he/she might be suffering from Whisker Fatigue. Sometimes these eating related problems even manifest themselves as aggression towards other pets or furniture.
The original whisker fatigue prevention
A cat's whiskers are ultra sensitive. When they are forced against the sidewalls of a traditional feeding bowl, it can cause discomfort and even pain. Dr. Catsby's food bowl is a wide and shallow dish, with no sidewalls and corners. Cats don't have to pull back their whiskers to avoid agonizing contacts, creating a much more enjoyable dining experience. Many of our customers reported improved eating habits from their cats. Check out what our customers have to say in reviews and comments

Stress free eatingRelaxed whiskers make a happier cat. Dr. Catsby's food bowl is a wide and shallow dish, with no sidewalls and corners. Cats don't have to pull back their whiskers to avoid unwanted or agonizing contacts, creating a much more enjoyable dining experience. The dish shape also keeps food in the center (in most cases) and is sized to hold one day's ideal portion to prevent over feeding. |
Acne preventionDoes your cat suffer from acne on the chin that won't go away? Maybe the cause is in the bowl. You see, with a traditional deeper feeding bowl, it's easy for him/her to rub the chip on the bowl and food. An unclean chin makes it easier for acne to develop. Dr. Catsby's shallow wide dish design can keep the chin clean during eating. This surprise benefit was observed by several of our customers' and our own cats. |
Material mattersNot all materials are created equals. We use food-grade premium stainless steel because that is what we use for ourselves, period. Cheaper materials like plastics are porous, which can cause bacteria growth and risk acne for your cats. Plastics also pose multiple severe health risks as food containers. They also cause negative environmental effects. PLEASE SAY NO TO PLASTICS when it comes to feeding your cats! |

Detachable anti skid silicone baseWe use a food grade silicone base to hold the bowl in place. This also marks out a feeding territory for your cat. It is detachable for easy cleaning. |
Dishwasher safeFood-grade premium stainless steel is not only durable and good looking, but is also easy to clean and maintain. Just throw it into the dishwasher or rinse regularly with warm water. (Please rinse it thoroughly before the first use) |
How to choose?There are many options on the market that claim the same benefit. How do you choose? Dr. Catsby is the first to bring an awareness and a solution to this issue in 2015, Since then, we are happy to see our cause gaining traction. Unfortunately our design and marketing approach have inspired quite a few copycats with cheaper materials and qualities. However, we believe when it comes to originality, quality and care, there are no substitutes. Your cats deserve only the best. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I balked at the price, but had kitten fever and bought them because . . . well . . . kittens. I did the same thing each time we brought new dogs into the house. But this ended up being a purchase I am very happy I made. Not at all the indulgent spending I thought it was. Would definitely recommend.
NOTE: I've been using this bowl for 5 days now, with wet cat food. The wet cat food styles I've had in it are stew and pate.
PROS:
- Both pieces are dishwasher-safe (hard REQUIREMENT for me).
- Both pieces hand-wash easily.
- Silicone pad has a dual function as a bowl cover, so there's no need to put leftovers from a meal back into the can (I LOVE this feature).
- Bowl looks "modern" (clean design, stainless steel) - If you give a sh*t about that kind of thing :)
CONS:
- Seems a bit pricey.
- Can't put the bowl in the microwave. (My cats seem to be less interested/enticed by cat food coming straight out of the fridge. So, after giving this a few more days of experimenting, I might end up having to put leftovers back in the can, after all, which would defeat the purpose of having the silicone cover...)
- Silicone cover tends to collect fuzz/dust (albeit a small amount). I think some of this "fuzz transfer" happens during a paper towel dryoff after handwashing in sink. I imagine this problem could be resolved by manufacturing a solid cover with no design (there's a raised cat imprint and branding or something on one of the sides of the cover).
SUMMARY: If you have the money, buy it. It's worth trying. I still really like it because of its traction and its wide bowl.

Además la pieza de plástico que lleva, impide que empujen el plato y terminen tirándolo.
Sólo me queda añadir que tanto el plato como la base se pueden meter en el lavavajillas sin problema.
¡Muy recomendable!
