I wanna try an experiment but I’d also like others experience here.

I’ve noticed certain cats eat tok fast and also go back to extra food. I feel like if the overeaters/gulpers were let to eat last and then all food leftovers were removed afterwards we might have less instances of vomiting afterwards.

What say you, cat-owning Lemmings?

Note those complicated bowls may result in your cat being noticeably more disagreeable than before, from experience. My guy hates that damned bowl with such a passion it’s funny to watch him try and figure out how to destroy it so he doesn’t have to deal with it anymore.

He is a used cat, no idea how he grew up so not sure what caused it, but he is quite aggressive with food. He eats so quickly when using a normal bowl that he sometimes will even throw it right back up.

There is a clear difference in his demeanor when he gets fed with a bowl that forces him to eat slower. Not quite angry, but he clearly hates it and his demeanor shows it. He is not a happy kitty when he eats from those bowls.

I’m struggling to imagine what a complicated bowl looks like. Do you have a link to one I can take a geez at?

We’ve tried a few over the years. This is one of the ones we’ve used.

they’re commonly known as busy bowls.

we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.
