i have been browsing for a cat food mat that keeps her from moving her water feeder and making a mess which is a good one to use

I have several of these mats. The older ones seem to be a heavier rubber but the newer ones are fine. Actually, after cleaning the old ones (which I do every day) I placed the newer ones on top of those. They do NOT move and the lip all around the edge catches the spills and any food that may slip out of the mouths of my cats. I swear by these mats. They do not leak and are very easy to just wipe up. They certainly protect the floor or rug or whatever you may have these sitting on.

I bought this for my dog...yes, he's very messy...but the bowl does not move at all....very happy with my choice...also....easy to clean !

my cat actually learned to eat out of the top of it, so what I did was placed his old bowl which was heavy ceramic on the top and that can both weigh it down and keep the kitty from eating out of the top of it, hope that helps

Just for fun, I unloaded my dish drainer and tried the silicone mat under a small wood cutting board to cut a tomato. I don't usually have a big problem with sliding cutting boards, but with the mat laying flat side down on a formica counter the wood cutting board slipped around about half as much. The mat is not all that sticky but it might help on a very slick surface. The good part is the mat can be tossed onto the top rack of the dishwasher to be sterilized.

I got mine for my cat. He was still able to tip it, so I got one of those black boot trays and velcroed the bowl to the tray, problem solved!!!! At least, when he did tip it, it wasn't as big of a mess as with a regular bowl!!!

I would suggest you to cover one layer of plastic liner under the litter so that you can keep this box stay longer... My cat is always spreading the litter all over around every time she finished her thing....so this one works for her.

maybe the same type of material but thicker and mat like with a ridge around that keeps the litter from tracking

It's way too big for a cat - I would check and see if they have a smaller version. I would be worried they would hurt themselves trying to get the food out.

Try using Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush to clean off any dust or cat hair that may accumulate on the mat, then just rinse. It works great, just make certain you use a double dose of the dish soap.

I wouldn't suggest it. It would probably be quite messy. I only feed my cats wet food, too. But there are a few brands of healthy treats that would work in this feeder.

I haven't had any problems with it. I have had it for over a year now. I use it for my dog. If your cat is trying to get the food to drop down, you can try fastening the tray with tape underneath or something. I picked this feeder because it had the best reviews and the large container.

I bet you can use the Command heavy duty velcro strips. One side of the strip would stick on the back of the feeder and the other side on the aquarium. Just tear the feeder from the aquarium to remove for cleaning and attach it back when you're done. You can attach several strips to make it super secure. I use these all over the house.

The last cage that I used had a grate at the bottom that I kept the litter in, so the chinchilla was not able to scatter it. It was much easier to clean also. I am thinking about putting something like that over the trays again. Make sure the grate is small, so they don't get their feet caught.

Yes, that's the reason I bought it - my cat liked splashing the water out of regular bowls. This solves that issue.

I think it is fantastic and it worked wonderfully for the feral cat in my yard. She took to it immediately! But it is round, and i do not think there is room inside for a heated water dish or food. it think the water would spill as the cat entered and exited - and the same for the food.

I also have that problem. I placed a piece of wood under the back side to tilt the feeder. This corrected the problem. Do not change your cat food to accommodate the feeder issue - just block (elevate) the back side.

It will not protect the floor. I'm trying to decide if I should send mine back, because it works well for catching the litter, but my cat has decided to use his box for pooping only, and has been peeing on the mat. I've tried cleaning it, even spraying it down with vinegar, because vinegar is supposed to be an odor eliminator, but it's not helping. I have afolded towel under the mat for now, so that my wood floor doesn't get ruined. Not happy at all.

Another thought -- this style is more for wet food and small portions. For big dry kibble, I'd suggest a chute-feeder more like this: topPets Large Automatic Pet Feeder Electronic Programmable Portion Control Dog Cat Feeder w/ LCD display
