I needed new dishes for my cats (me and my roommate have 5 in total)
and I got tired of always having to fill up the several "side-by-side" food dishes we had, my water problems are taken care of by 2 Water Fountains (one Petmate and one Drinkwell) plus a small ceramic dish for the one cat that doesn't like to drink from the fountains.

I wanted something similar to this for the food, but did not want to have a larger sized dog feeder, or one with too many pieces to it. I saw a few feeders on Amazon and liked one that just happened to become out of stock/unavailable for both sizes it had, it was a Petmate feeder, very much like this style except a bit more angular to the overall shape.

I couldn't decide on the other "bistro" feeders by Petmate, nor any of the other more common ones. Well, I actually bought this same feeder in the "planet blue" at my local Pet Food Express (same size, was on a shelf in a plastic bag already mostly put together). It was $11.99, but I got a chance to see it in person and hold the thing, which made me feel confident enough that it was strong and sturdy.

I got it home, washed it, put it out with food for my cats, and they took about 20 minutes to decide that it wasn't evil and it fed them food, so they decided it could stay. I noticed that even with the smaller size, it still holds quite a bit of food and it made me hate their other dish(es) even more as I still had to fill those ones up (I put food in 2 different areas of the apartment for them, and the water fountains are next to and under our kitchen sink). I decided to get this pink one from Amazon to end my grief.

It is exactly the same as my other "blue" one, it did come in a kinda large box and the 2 main pieces separate (takes only a couple seconds to slide them together though), the quality was all the same, strong and able to take a few random "kickings" from a foot, or a cat sliding it around a bit (if not on a mat or something).

My only complaint with the pink feeder from Amazon was that it was quite dusty/dirty when taken out of the box, even on the inside of the plastic.

Overall, this product, the one from Amazon (Pink Pictured Item) as well as the other same "Planet Blue" item from the other store are BOTH great items, very easy to clean and dry and put together. The lid does seem too tight for one-handed use, but I would rather have it be nice and tight than loose and more prone to possibly falling off.

My cats have not destroyed these feeders yet, they love them, and with BOTH feeders (and now no need for other small food dishes other than for wet food etc), I can have ALL 5 of my cats eat from them for at least a week before they need to be filled up again...

I wasn't sure about this feeder when I saw the picture. It appears to be much more flimsy in the picture than it really is. This is actually a sturdy little feeder and it's very easy to clean. I love that you can actually see how much food is left in there without having to get right up on it like most feeder as well. For the price, it's a great little bargain.

This product is amazing! I fill it once ever 1-2 weeks and that's it!!! My cats love it!!! A++++ PRODUCT!!!

This is one of those 'cheap and does what it is supposed to' products. Great price and works perfectly fine.

Love this set...very convenient. Not "menacing" like some of the other feeders--my dog went right up to it! Only complaint is that the pink shown on the site is not the pink I received--I received a light, powder pink. I was really wanting the hot pink shown on the page, too, because it is so cute! So that was a slight disappointment. Other than that, everything shipped fast, was new with stickers and all, and my dog is loving it!

Works perfectly for 2 cat household - lasts about 1 week and does not require cleaning at all. only downside is if your cat has no control and gorges. but for the price it is well worth it, very useful for vacations. when the food gets to the bottom it does not gravity-feed into the bowl as well, but what can you expect.

The only problem I have with this feeder, I think, is the fault of the cat food I have. It is crumbled in the food dish so it is full of crumbs (my cat won't eat crumbs). So, the normal pieces won't drop down into the bowl. I will try a less crumbly food next time.

This petfeeder is just purrfect for my Dolly kitty. We love the pink, it is just the cats meow!
