Necoichi Raised Cat Food Bowl

Cats eat crouched over floor bowls because that is what we hand them, not because it is comfortable. Necoichi raised the bowl so a cat can eat with its neck in a natural position, which helps with digestion and cuts down on the classic eat-then-vomit routine that many owners assume is just how cats are. The bowl is shallow and wide too, so whiskers do not scrape the sides with every bite, and a removable silicone ring on the base keeps pushy eaters from shoving it across the kitchen.

What separates it from the usual pet-store raised feeders is the material. This is real porcelain, free of lead and cadmium, tested against US, EU, and Japanese safety standards, and it goes straight into the dishwasher or microwave. Plastic bowls scratch and harbor bacteria that cause chin acne; this does not. It handles wet or dry food and it is genuinely nice looking on a kitchen floor. Give it to the friend whose cat throws up breakfast twice a week. They will report back.
