Selecting a Food & Water Bowl for Your Kitten

When shopping for feeding equipment, purchase a set of bowls that will belong exclusively to your cat. Bowls should have a broad base to prevent tipping and food spillage, and be made of stainless steel or ceramic. Hard plastic bowls are often more economical but their tendency to nick and fissure makes this type of bowl difficult to keep clean. It is also reported that some cats develop allergic reactions to plastic. Steel and ceramic are easy to clean and their smooth surfaces are less likely to harbor bacteria.

Cats often refuse to eat from dirty bowls, so both food and water bowls should be thoroughly cleaned each day. If you are feeding your kitten free-choice, the bowl should be emptied and new food added at least once daily. Fresh water should be available to your cat at all times.
