Keeping Cat Bowls Tidy

MieshelleCatWh... please elaborate on the water resource next to prey/food....did not understand. I've now got my water right next to the food. many thanks.This galvanized idea is real good, unfortunately about a month ago I invested in a neater-feater. but good idea.

This is a great idea (looks good too in photos), but one behavior component to consider --- never locate your cat's water resource next to its food because their instinct to drink fresh water that is not contaminated with bacteria from dead prey. In this case your cat's store bought food is the dead prey. Ever wonder why your cats prefer drinking out of the sink or your water glass? This is why!

The galvanized tray would have been a good hint a few months ago. I looked all over for something to contain two dog bowls and a water system for them. I tried cat litter boxes and all kinds of things. I finally settled on a plastic boot tray. It works great. I may still look at some galvanized trays for plants. Great tip for all those who are going through the same search we did. Thanks

i've been doing something like this for years. unfortunately, my cats are not martha cats--they're pretty messy!
