Hand-Glazed Ceramic Cat Food Bowl: Whisker Fatigue Relief, Cosmic Galaxy Design

*Food, microwave, and dishwasher safe.
*Made upon ordering.
*handcrafted- slight variations in glaze may occur. These add character and prove they are handcrafted. Some are more blue than black and some are more black than blue.
*approximately 4.5-7.5" (width) x 1/2-1" (height)
There might be a variation in size from 1/8 to 1/4 an inch. No two are identical since they are created by hand one piece at a time.
*What size bowl do you need? Measure the kitty's current bowl, determine if you need more space or less, and order the next size up or down. These hold less than a regular, store-bought bowl because the walls are lower to help your cat with whisker fatigue symptoms.
*These are specialized cat food "bowls" which are very low-walled, much like a plate with a slight curve.

This ceramic cat food dish is decorated in hand-glazed galaxy blue to black design with lower walls to alleviate the worst of whisker fatigue symptoms. Each piece has my hand-crafted "paw print of purrrrfection" on the outside of the bowl. The bottom of the bowl has a slight texture so that it will be less likely to move if placed on a mat.

Is your cat screaming at you with a bowl that's not empty, except maybe that middle part? Does Her (or His! Us cat folk know all cats are gods.) Majesty walk away from her bowl and immediately put her food back out into the world? This may be the bowl she's looking for to relieve what is known as whisker fatigue. Here's why: my design has a curved bowl interior instead of the raised sides that mass manufacturers create their cat food bowls with. They are selling smaller dog food bowls that don't allow cat whiskers to fit into the curve, so they cannot eat all the food in the dish without panicking. That panic causes them to eat too fast and then throw up. These can be messier than a regular bowl; however, the health benefits far outweigh the mess. You might find food pushed out of the bowl, but it's not vomit on your furniture or carpeting. If vomiting persists after consistent use, there might be a deeper-rooted issue, such as food insecurity.
This ceramic cat food dish is hand-painted with glazes in whatever design you're looking for and has lower walls to alleviate the worst of whisker fatigue symptoms. The bottom of the bowl has a slight texture to make it less likely to move if placed on a mat. The designs on the bowls in the photos show my artistic style, not the exact designs to choose from. You let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to make it happen. All customized bowl orders include final photos before shipping, and I don't limit cancellation requests if you're not happy with the final results.
