I think that would work great. I've only used it for water but I think you have a good idea!

It does stay cool for long periods...I can not say for sure how long, also depends on room temp. I had this for my dog who refused to use it...Did not like it...spoiled thing that she is.....hope this helps....good luck...

I think you could - although on really hot days I feel the bowl only lasts for a good 5 hours outdoor in direct sun. If you are using in doors - then yes it should last for long hours. I'm really happy with these bowls that I bought two of them!

I've always used it on wet. The cats actually love it. After using it for several days, I didn't use it and they looked at their food and looked at me, and wouldn't eat til I sprinkled it on ;)

I do not believe this is intended for food. We are not using it for food. This company does make other containers that are designed for food.

you could also just open the holes wide and plunge it into a bowl of soapy water and swish. I think these type things are wonderful - it keeps my cat's weight under control yet gives her a fun thing to do throughout the day.

I probably would not use it to feed because it may confuse your cats between a litter box and a feeding box. That being said if you are using it for cats that are not too large they could eat in it.

I have used this bowl for the past few winters for our 2 outdoor cats but I only use it for its intended purpose, water. Our temps in northern Michigan often get 10 below zero or more during the cold days of January. I would see no problem if you use dry cat food BUT canned food may prove to be problematic; I do think the food would freeze. Hope this helps, if not please be a bit more specific on what type of food you plan to use.

This mess kit is not designed for storing food that could possibly leak. Dry food, such as instant oatmeal or dry cereal and condiments in zip lock bags should be fine. So you are aware, when the kit is closed it is "not" water proof. It's function is as a food tray and "sometimes" as a cooking pan. I would not recommend using it regularly to cook in.

It doesn't seal very tight so I am not sure that it would stay moist. I wouldn't recommend putting wet food in there.

I never thought of doing that but that is certainly a possibility. I think as long as you don't use it to heat up your food in it, it wouldn't be a problem. As long as it's clean and washed well you should be okay.

Yes I think it would keep food dry. These containers have a real good seal.

Yes. We feed our cat wet food and only 1/2 cup of dry food every day for variety and teeth cleaning. The Catit feeder needs to be anchored to a solid base and the top hole needs to be covered ... we did both and you can, too. It's great exercise and our cat doesn't stuff himself at one sitting like he used to. We love it.

No, it wouldn't work for wet food. It would be hard to get in, and I don't think the cat(s) could get it out. The bowl is meant to have them stick their paws in to pull food out. :-) Hope that helps.

I Think It's Definitely Possible. You Could Just Put Some Marshmallows (Or Something Else A Cat Wouldn't Want) Down In There.

Our cats would probably eat around the powder if given the choice. We mix it into the wet food. As a thought you could try getting a squirt bottle and give the wet food one spray and then sprinkle the powder on it would stick to the dry food that way. Just don't over do it with the squirt bottle or it will end up all mushy.

Yes this would work for that however I don't think it is NSF approved which all food storage items have to be for any commercial operation. If this is just for home use I would leave it up to you. It is pretty large be sure to check the dimensions so you know.

It should work. Just make sure the unit is secured so the cat cannot topple the unit. You'll also have to program it to deliver the amount of food you want at each feeding. Also, try to keep the unit in a dry area, my unit was pushed in my pond by a raccoon and was inoperable after that.

After reading the other responses, I will just add that this container will take the entire contents of a 3 pound bag of cat food. ... I should say Fancy Feast, anyway. It will take a whole bag of that without any leftover in the bag. That's why I bought it. I feel like it keeps the food fresher than leaving it in the bags, even the re-sealable ones. Although I can't be sure..not having done any taste testing of my own.. and my cats aren't talking, so I'm just going on my feelings with that one.
