Is this wide enough for a large cat to eat comfortably? Some cats have sensitive whiskers that are irritated by a small bowl.

This is the widest ceramic dish I own. I haven't seen many others. It measures 5 inches at the top. There are ceramic dishes available without sides if you are using it for wet food. I found those at Pet Supplies Plus.

This is a pretty big cat bowl as cat bowls go - wide and deep. I don't know if it's wide enough for a cat's whiskers to completely fit in, but I have four of these and they are great.

My large cat eats from it comfortably but doesn't have sensitive whiskers. It's not big enough for his whiskers to not touch the sides.

Yes it's fine, I have two cats. I find the larger bowls having the cats pushing the food around with their tongues and ending up along the sides.
1786536
No, I don't think it would be wide enough, but you could measure your cat's whiskers and if they measure more than 5" across you will know for sure.

Oh, yes. Should be fine for large cat. My cat is 20 lbs with long legs, back, etc. Whiskers do not give her any problem.

My cat doesn't mind this bowl at all! He's a large Maine Coon. Although, he's tough as nails, he's not a sensitive kitty. This bowl certainly isn't as dainty as most cat bowls.

I bought this for my cats for a water bowl (have one that thinks its funny to tip them over and drag it - which with this bowl he cannot do) I would consider it a small bowl (it holds a cup maybe a little less). The little tabs on the side I think would be good to keep the ears away from the bowl... I love this bowl. it's super easy to clean, it's hard to move and tip over. It should work for your dogs if they don't eat over a cup of something at a feeding :) Hope that helps. My elderly cat doesn't have to bend or lay down to drink he can stand up and he's pretty tall (according to my vet) in the legs.

Not really. The food is availble at all times and flows freely as your pet eats. My cats use their paws to rake the food out if the flow isn't consistent. I hope this helps.

This will keep them from getting full access to their head if ordered in larger size than indicated, but if your cat is constantly scratching at this area it will pop. You could then stuff it with cotton/rags/whatever (this is advised anyway), but again the scratching in this general area may cause it to be pulled off constantly. I could not use the cone as my cat refused to even walk at times along with inability to eat or use the regular covered box she preferred. The KONG only slightly irritated her and I know this thing made it impossible for her to clean her face after eating so I would take it off for a few minutes just so she could get that bit of dignity back. Of course, YMMV. This will keep them from getting full access to their head if ordered in larger size than indicated, but if your cat is constantly scratching at this area it will pop.

It could be for awhile but normally not a problem, my 2-Cats are about 3-5 yrs old and 15lbs and they seem to have no problem at all. They seem to be a little messier (probably their size) but I am very happy with this product and they use it very well... very easy to maintain!

I dont' have the large one. My cat is a normal size domestic cat but I have to adjust the medium size one to the maximum. If you think your cat will grow bigger/fatter, getting a large one would be better choice.

I don't think so. Unless your cat likes small spaces... which some cats do. My cat is about 7lbs, and he barely fits. My other cat who is 5lbs seems to be more comfortable.

I have a very large cat (&gt;20 lbs) who fits just fine. For extreme fat cats, the manufacturer of this item sells a smaller brush. With cats, just remember: if the cat's head can fit, so can the rest of the cat....

Mine was small as well. My cat weighs about 15 pounds and since the wound was on his neck, this worked out great. I thought the fit would be tight, but it was just right. And he was unable to escape from the collar, but he did lick it and scratch a lot :)

Yes this should work for cats if you think they eat too fast. I would just recommend much smaller bowl for cat. The idea is for the animal to work harder to get food, so it takes them longer to eat the same amount of food.

I would say that a cat would have no problem eating from this dish. I have a bull dog puppy and he's able to eat from it. However it didn't really have the effect of really slowing him down as much as I would have liked. I'd like to find a bowl that has the smaller grooves and tracks that the animal would need to pull the individual peices out of. The other thing I found slows them down quite a bit is to elevate the bowl some. When they can't crowd over the bowl they cant scarf it down as fast.

I have a medium sized cat who fits comfortably in in. My larger cat fits, but is not as roomy. If they are average size, then yes. You can't beat the price. You will need to air it out as it has a chemical smell that eventually goes away.

Yes, they are very sensitive to any movement. They aren't very "wide angled" but I'm sure cats would at that distance.

If your cat is very food motivated it probably could do that. This is one of the deeper styles. The flower style slo-bowl isn't as deep. The one with parallel lines would be probably be easiest for a cat to get the food out of. But I don't have a cat so I'm just guessing.

Greetings! I ordered the smallest size (Size 0), and while it was a good fit for my cat, she was still able to lick her stomach in spite of the collar by sitting up on her hind quarters, leaning forward and "hunching over her gut." The product we found that does the best job of prohibiting her from doing this is the Neck Hug by Wagtail Farms. So that is the product I recommend. Good luck!

I have a large cat too (15lbs) and she is able to fit comfortably inside the cat condo and she enjoys the scratching post (one side is very shredded). This is large enough for bigger kitties but if your cat is prone to leaping on and off the top of the condos I recommend that you position the condo against a wall as it is not super sturdy. It is not something I consider a big deal, just something to keep in mind. That being said, for the price you cannot beat this condo, I shopped around quite a bit. Assembly was easy enough. Just rub some catnip on it and you're good to go. Hope this helps.

They are large enough for my cats - and my cats are large. The two of them would not fit on one though, as they are big cats. BTW- they love it!
