Eat Slow Bowl
Is your cat a food gobbler?
Some cats hoover up cat food so fast they end up throwing it up right next to the food dish. You can try slowing down the process with the Eat Slow Bowl. The unique structure could certainly work for cats, but do make sure you clean it properly between uses, especially if you feed canned or raw/homecooked cat food.

Northmate Catch Interactive Feeder for Cats
"Don't play with your food!"
That's not something you should ever be telling your cat. Playing with prey is natural for cats, and some cats can benefit from introducing an element of play to their feeding session. I'm not sure if the Northmate apparatus is more of a feeding dish or a toy. Maybe a feeding toy? Either way, it can provide much-needed stimulation for your cat, incorporating that into meal time in a way that allows Kitty to "hunt" down her food.

K&H Thermal Bowl
Another practical solution for those caring for feral cats. This one is a thermal water dish that makes sure the ferals have access to liquid water even when the temperature drops below freezing point. It does need to be plugged in, but this innovative gadget is effective, judging by the reviews of Amazon shoppers, and can be a lifesaving solution during wintertime.

The Chatterbowl
Speaking of gadgets, here's one for the pampered indoors-only cat: a water bowl that talks to the cat while you're away. You can record a 10-second-long message which will be played back to Kitty whenever she gets a drink. Sing her a song or just tell her how wonderful she is, as long as she gets to hear the soothing sound of your voice!
