Has anyone tried these outside? We've started feeding a couple of neighborhood kitties, &amp; are looking for something we can use outside. I'm in Texas

Well I haven't used them outside. I bought them for my dogs actually inside. But they are very durable I can't imagine why not.

We just got one for our little semi-feral community, too. They took to it right away. They've had an extra-large cat carrier to sleep in for a few years (most of them were born in that carrier!), which sits under our back porch. We got the igloo because the community grew by one litter of kittens :-) Everyone is spayed/neutered now, so hopefully the community is stable! Hope this worked for your kitties!

I have 2 stray cats so the feeders are outside until 10:30 at night when I bring the food in. The bowls have remained in great shape without issues. My mom has an inside cat and her feeder and bowls are about 7 years old. They still look great.

I have just checked the packages bought at the store and noticed that they also have the pin holes... I guess also the one my kitties are eating now had them, but the grass is ok.

Go for the expanded capacity model and try it for at least a week with your kibble. Spherical definitely works better than triangular food. My cat loves his kibble, so this helps give him small amounts throughout the day.

I know this was posted a long time ago, but I'm adding a reply in case anyone is still reading. My kitties love things that are typically no cost....When I eat a Nutrigrain bar, I fold the wrapper into quarters (lengthwise), and then tie a knot in the center. It crinkles AND flies around when they bat at it. It's one of the best things I ever did; you just have to watch for fraying and then toss it. It usually takes a few days, unless one of my kittens is going nuts. The Colorful Springs are a huge hit, and inexpensive, and they make noise when they roll across a hard floor.

That's the same reason I got mine! I stupidly connected the first one in my kitchen, and, wow, my cats bolted out of the room. But it seems to have no effect on them when they are set up outside - of course, it's Texas and I don't open my windows.... and the catstops point away from the house. Actually I only use them long enough to get other cats out of the habit of coming into my yard... then I loan them to friends who also have a cat problem!

They are "fun" shapes, if you will. They are flat, but there are triangles, and "Y" wishbone type shapes. I imagine the Y ones might give you a hard time. I would suggest Purina Pro Plan Dry Cat Food, Focus, Adult Sensitive Skin and Stomach Lamb and Rice Formula, it also helps with hairballs and sensitive stomachs. They are all one shape round pieces, my cats love it.

Yes. These are great. Much better than the hard plastic type. They have 2 or 3 ridges on the underside so they can stretch to fit almost any normal size can of pet food. I use them for Friskies cat food, too. Get them! You won't be sorry.

They stayed for about a week from what I noticed. We did have some cold weather during that time frame though. They are great to watch. I would suggest to the seller to add more food. One teaspoon doesn't cut it. Especially, when some of it spills out, which I understand, the little critters need to eat to stay alive.

It's certainly worth a try! The product reviews are great, and the price is ridiculously cheap for a bottle that will last you months and months. So honestly - what are you waiting for! I mean heck, for the price of a pizza, you can buy something that has a very strong likelihood of working, and letting you keep your dear kitty! Good luck to you :)

Hi again everyone, We had a total combination of several pieces of really bad luck all at the same time. It started with an unexpected spike in demand, which we would have been able to handle had the most recent shipment be sent out on time, however because of a clerical error with the shipper it was delayed by nearly two months. (Order planning for the crystals needs to happen well over two months before the product actually reaches the shelves at Amazon). That put us behind, and then on top of that the container somehow got ripped open in transit. We've just had everything transferred over to a new container and anticipate having them back in stock at Amazon around the 24th. You can follow updated progress at our Forever Litter Trays Facebook page, as I update there regularly. (And you can see a photo of the container if interested). Short term as someone else mentioned your best alternative is Fresh Step (although it has a fragrance). This and other tips can also be found at my website. I apologize once again for all this mess..........we're doing our best to get this all back on track as soon as possible. Rick

There's another smaller one for cats. It's purple and the concept is that the kitties will reach between the blades with their paws and pull the kibble out where they can get to them. Pretty cool concept if you want to give your kitty a "hunting" challenge. Amazon sells that one, too. Have fun! :)

I would work with small kibbles. I am feeding large pellets to my KOI and they are about the same size as cat food.

HI, was not for me, but may be for some cats. Mine, jumped in and did their thing... Love it when they walz in house from outdoors and go to the litter box. I pick their little butts up and put them back OUTSIDE!!! LOL

I feed my cats dry food from these bowls. There has always been spillage around their bowls, no matter what bowl I've used and there still is. I think it is more of an issue of how they eat rather than the bowl design. I use black "cafeteria" type trays under their bowls (and placemats under those!) to try to catch most of the mess.
