How to choose a bowl for a cat: usually owners do not think about it

The ideal bowl for a cat has certain parameters that not all pet owners know about.
In order to eliminate this unfortunate omission, you should listen to the advice of experts. The fact is that the material is far from the most important thing in this matter.
Material
1. There is not much choice. Plastic bowls are usually cheaper and have a pleasant selection.
But really cheap ones can scare away your pet with a sharp chemical smell.
2. Glass and ceramic ones look presentable, they are more massive and can be washed in the dishwasher.
But such dishes are not durable and can break.
3. It turns out that the most practical option for a cat bowl is metal.
Such dishes are durable, safe and practical. But the material is not the most important thing.
Correct form
1. The main attention should be paid to the shape of the pet's bowl.
Ideally, choose a bowl that is the same size as the width of your cat's whiskers.
There is an opinion that when the whiskers touch the edges of the dish, the animal experiences discomfort.
Because of this, the pet may refuse to eat or start to pull the food out of the bowl onto the floor with its paw.
2. The next important point is the height. The bowl should not be lower than 3-4 cm.
Model
Models with two bowls are very popular. One half is for food, and the other for water - convenient, people think.
However, pets will still not drink water from this bowl. This is not a whim, but an instinct.
It has been noticed that many cats go to the bathtub or another place to drink water.
Therefore, this option can also be excluded, although much depends on the character of the cat.
