Can I put this in my cats' wet food? They do not drink a lot of water and they get most of their water consumption through their wet food.

I don't think that would work. It seems like it would need to be dissolved in water and rinsed through their mouth as they drink.

It does not hold water. I don't think it was designed to use as a water feeder. As far as your Persian cat's face it may be that your cat's face would be a close fit.

I bought one primarily for the cat (he won't drink anything but running water), but both of my dogs (30 lb. and 50 lb.) use it from time to time. They still use their traditional water bowls when they are so thirsty that they just want to dive in. (The Catit bowl requires a little more patience on their part.)

Yes this should work for cats if you think they eat too fast. I would just recommend much smaller bowl for cat. The idea is for the animal to work harder to get food, so it takes them longer to eat the same amount of food.

This holds only about a quart of water. I have 2 cats and I add 2 cups of water everyday. Water fountains in general promote healthy drinking. Since I got it my cats drink much more water. If you are gone for 5 days I suggest you get a much larger water dish that has a large container like a water bubbler.

I would not recommend it. The food does not fall into the bowl. My cats aren't trained to use their paws to pull more food down so the job is left for me. Very poor design.

It is ok to mix it with their meal as long as it is a small amount. The back of the bag tells gives you it's recommendation as to how much is appropriate to feed your cat. Keep in mind that ideally, these are meant as treats for your pet.

I don't see why it wouldn't work for cats unless they didn't want to stick their head in the hole to drink. But if they are prone to knocking over water bowls, I think a cat would have a hard time tipping this one. Of course, they could still stick their paws in it and splash water all over. The water is kind of deep in the bowl, so the cat would have to stick his head way in to reach it. I have one cat who sticks her head into my plant rooting jar (for some strange reason she likes her water grungy) and gets it stuck and knocks it over, so I'm sure it's physically possible for the cat to get his head into this water bowl. It's way bigger than that jar. I don't see why it wouldn't work for cats unless they didn't want to stick their head in the hole to drink.

I'm not sure. Maybe there's a customer service number on the company's website. You could call and ask them. I don't know what your cat's situation is, but personally, if I had a kitten who couldn't properly digest any other foods on the market and this food was his only chance, I would certainly feed it to him, but if he didn't like the food with water added to it as per the instructions, I'd serve it to him dry in a bowl but cut each of the kibbles in half so that the pieces are small enough for his mouth.

I would think you would be able to if you supplemented it with a small amount of easy access food. I do not put any treats in this only cat foot. My larger cat, who loves the feeder, primarily only eats out of it for his dry food. I regulate it so it doesn't feed really fast because it does spit it out when you fill it. My kitties (3) get split 1 3oz can in the mornings.

I think ants could get in it if they were around. Plus, if the cat left any food for a little while, the food in the open slot would sit out, which would attract ants if you already had them. (I haven't had a problem, but I don't have ants. And I only use the product while away for a day or two, not on a daily basis.)

Our cats would probably eat around the powder if given the choice. We mix it into the wet food. As a thought you could try getting a squirt bottle and give the wet food one spray and then sprinkle the powder on it would stick to the dry food that way. Just don't over do it with the squirt bottle or it will end up all mushy.

I've always used it on wet. The cats actually love it. After using it for several days, I didn't use it and they looked at their food and looked at me, and wouldn't eat til I sprinkled it on ;)

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer this, as I'm only a cat owner. I would think the internet would have an answer, as well as a vet. I just give my cat about 2 tablespoons of canned cat food that I've mixed the medication into. He has dry food the rest of the time.

Not really. The food is availble at all times and flows freely as your pet eats. My cats use their paws to rake the food out if the flow isn't consistent. I hope this helps.

I depends on your pet and her willingness to cooperate when she's thirsty. Our cat has drunk from it in the car, but not as routinely or thoroughly as the dog did. The bowl is flexible and not much water can rest in the bowl without spilling; I hold it up to them when they're drinking and also give her access to a water bowl when we give her access to the litter box.

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.
