I dont use a mat under this feeding station and i never have a problem with any type of spills or anything like that, the design keeps the food and water contained pretty well

You don't need any thing under it. It has a leg system that holds it up far enough to prevent damage and also holds a throw away drip pan.

My feeder only came with two stainless bowls. The water bowl is deeper than the food bowl.

I have a bowl about the same size as yours on the stand. It works very well for me.

I do keep mine near the food, as my cat was used to have her food and water bowl together. I don't think it matters where you put it though as long as access is easy.

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

I love my madolin and just use it with a flexible cutting board. I keep it flat so it is very stable as I cut. I think putting it over a bowl would make it rather dangerous to use. I do not see the advantage of a stand. I love my mandolin and gave them away as gifts to my siblings this year for Christmas. :)

I would use a thin mat under the equipment. The exercise mat is nice but thick and would likely distort.

I use the microfiber mat. I'm sure there are drain boards big enough out there, but they might be kind of hard to find. I absolutely love this dish rack though. It was expensive, but well worth it.

No it's not set up that way. I think you may need the electric portion feeder type. This one only drops when they have eaten everything out of the bowl.

I purchased two stainless steel bowl from Petsmart which are almost identical to what comes with the stand (and I use them as you mentioned). I would take one of the bowls from this stand to any pet shop near you and see if they have some that are similar and will do the trick.

It's not necessarily required. You simply need to lay it on top of the bowl. The action of heating will create a vacuum that seals the bowl. But I have also just laid it over a plate to prevent splatters. In those cases, no seal develops, but it still helps to keep moisture in.

It doesn't need a stand but it's a good idea to put a concrete paver or cinder blocks under it to raise it off the floor several inches. That makes it easier to connect a hose to the drain at the bottom in the event that you ever wish to drain the unit or do a flush.

The bottom of this feeder is a screen that can be removed easily for cleaning, but it makes it a little difficult for metal pole mounting. You could attach an "X" made out of wood or metal to allow you to attach to the feeder. We love our feeders (we have two of these) but I used wire to hang them from hooks attached to a 4X4. Makes it very easy to take down to clean.

Sounds like you don't have the grey plastic piece screwed onto the bottom. It comes with the bowl.

I have one under mine but mine is on laminate flooring. If it were on carpeting, I would put something. I put 2 rubber mats, one under front and one under back.

Personally, I'd put another mat or a rug beneath it. It has a decent pad if it's placed on a carpeted surface, but I'd be a little nervous putting it on a hardwood floor. Otherwise, I loved this play yard. :)
