Would this be a good dish set for a 10 pound cat? I need something sturdy that my cat cant move around when she eats.

Yes, I think it would be perfect for your cat. Actually my 60 pound pit bull eats out of the dish, and loves it! The funny thing is, our other 40 pound dog and visiting dogs prefer this dish set to the other larger one we have. Go figure!

Yes! This is a great dish! I bought a second one and I bought one for my daughter's cat! My daughter's cat had acne from using a plastic dish. Her acne cleared up once she switched to this dish. We have cats with various weights ranging from 6 pounds to 13 pounds and this works well for all of them. The dishes are just the right size, too. Not too big and not too small. My daughter loves the way they look! A nice extra is that my round Corelle ware bowls also fit the holder, so I can put these bowls in my dishwasher and use the Corelle ware bowls until these pretty ones are clean! I did a lot of research on raised bowls before I bought these, since raised bowls are better for cats. These are perfect! Yes! This is a great dish!

I think it would be. My 20 lb. dog uses it and doesn't move it...he doesn't bat at it like some cats do but I still think it's heavy enough that a cat wouldn't easily move it around.

I used a large Steele mixing bowl. I have 2 very active cats. they never knocked it over.

I have a 10-pound cat that fits, with a bit of room to spare. It's a little taller than some carriers, and the sides and top are quite flexible.

I think it would be OK. I have a stack of large corelle dinner plates, small dessert plates, and two stacks of small dessert bowls and it has held up for years. I was nervous about this much weight as the legs didn't seem perfectly level but there has been no moving or shifting - I think the weight helps it not move much though. Hope that helps. Enjoy the holiday season!

It should work. It seems sturdy and it's good for my 10 pound cat, but we haven't actually traveled with it yet. I just put her in it and carried her around the house. Of course she's not crazy about being in it, but she will have to get used to it when were riding in the car to short trips to the vet.

Hi Meghan- I purchased the 5lb and they are not the same diameter as the heavier weight plates. Not sure about the 10lb version.

It's pretty sturdy for our 13 lb cat :) as long your cats don't go up and down like crazy on it. It only wobbles VERY slighty when my cat is hyper going up. I hope this answer helps :)

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.

Hi! My cat is also 10lbs but I don't consider her fat lol! She's a perfect size. Maybe your kitty is a little bigger :) I just used my carrier last week to take my cat to get her nails clipped and it worked perfect for the short ride we needed to take. It's great because the cat can see out on 3 sides. It's perfect for us:)

Hi, my cat is a smallish 8-lb. Siamese. He fits just fine, and I think your cat would too, but he might not have a lot of room to turn around. I had it on a wood floor, and my husband moved it to a room with carpeting, which makes it more stable. It's not wobbly, but it does have a little give to it. My cat likes it. Good luck!

That is a good question, I put the heavier cats on the bottom, any where from 10 to 17 lbs and the lighter ones on top........I would think you could go 20 lbs, it is really quite durable and strong, wondeful for Vet trips and just walks...hope that helps a little....have fun....

If cats are buddies, probably. The food and water dishes may be an issue as there's no way to hang them with due to the fabric sides. So, I'd be a bit concerned for your overall "floor space". If it was a very short term arrangement, you'd be alright, I think. Long-term, I'd vote a different set up. (That's about as clear as mud, huh?)

WM - when I got the dish the legs fell out, but seems the iron is made for each side because I switched it and it stuck in better. Its made of iron but you are able to give it a bend out, to make the legs stick if needed. On bright side once its down on floor, no worries for the legs. My cat still loves it.

I would be hesitant and I'll tell you why. The base and scratching posts are very solid - no complaints about that. However, the U-shaped platform at the top and the lower platform that curves upward, are not nearly as solid as the rest of the piece and sure enough, those are the areas where a cat would typically sit. The U shaped platform at the top is OK, but the lower platform is very weak in my opinion. (And I'm not really sure what purpose the upward curving of the lower platform serves anyway - my cats have never scractched on the outside of that section.) If your cat doesn't put any weight on that area, it might be ok. BUT, if your 20# cat puts weight on it, I think it might break pretty quickly. I bought this for 5 foster cats - none of whom are over 8#. The smallest kitten who is about 4# jumps on the top of that lower curved platform and the entire thing shakes. I've had it for about 10 weeks and nothing is broken so far (except the toy). One other FYI that comes to mind - the removable "cushion" is just 2 pieces of plush fabric sewn together - there is no cushioning inside. Whatever you decide, I hope you find one that works great for you and your kitty!

My cat is just over 9 pounds and she fit -- but she hated the carrier and I felt it was too small for her. Your dog would likely not be able to move around much at all, which might be okay if that's what you prefer. I would say it's a gamble!

If you can get one thru the manufacturer as a parts replacement (try calling), then maybe look for a low dish that will fit inside and buy several of those. My cat just gets dry so I just refill in the same dish. Good luck!
