Hello, everyone. I have a kitten who has a tendency to eat too fast and gorge herself, which unfortunately means that she throws up from time to time. I was looking into slowfeeder bowl inserts for her and was wondering if anyone had tried something like that, and if they worked well.
I've had a good search and cant find one on any of the sites unfortunately. Could you find out where the wood one your using was purchased.
Just found this one
Ceramic SlowFeeder | Etsy UK
I'm not entirely sure where she got it. It's very nice and has moving parts that hide the treats (which is what I'm planning to use the feeder for). I've seen similar things online, but nothing quite like this one.
The feeding situation at our house is like a carefully choreographed scene lol 4 cats, 2 with completely different food sensitivities, one that eats like a vacuum cleaner and will eat everything in site (yes the smart one lol) and one that eats super slow. So they're all in separate rooms for...
They make slowfeeder bowls for both dogs and cats, which are basically a dish with a maze-like pattern of walls inside. It forces the animal to have to eat around the odd shapes, which slows them down. I have the "cat" version for my oldest cat, which is shallower than the dog version and less...
Allegra turned a year in November - she is naturally thin, not a foodie in any way. Cadbury turns a year this month, huge glutton, started getting tubby at 6 months. Until recently they free fed good quality kitten food (3 bowls around apt) and got wet food twice a day when I had foster kittens...
Delilah was afraid of the first fountain she was given. It was the Catit and it was bigger than her. She wouldn't go near the spot (even after I took it away) for 2 days. We wound up with this fountain:
The water sliding down the back was less scary for her and she adjusted to it. It's just a...
...of rocks. You just need to wash up whatever you use along with their dishes to keep the germs away. You would need to do with with a slowfeeder dish as well. The only other thing I can suggest if to go on Amazon and search sort by highest reviews. You are rights, there are tons of them...
...really attached to it and it hurts to them.
(If you do not have anyone to help u you can do
1-do it while your cat is eating (if it’s a slowfeeder better)
2-entertain your cat with some birds on TV or a feather toy while you’re cleaning it
3-play with your cat for a long period of time and...
...cup. If you want to slow down Maui when eating canned food, you can try using a plate and smearing it all over the surface of the plate. There are also all kinds of slowfeeders on the internet - like this one:
Edit: Btw, just now remembered this recent post - Slowfeeder (a tip, not a...
TCS has a few threads on slowfeeders:

A few clean golf or ping pong bowls in the bowl works, too.
...it out u supervised. Every once in a while, we’ll get a cat that pees on it too, so watch that as well!
I would also consider some “slowfeeder pet bowl/puzzle/toys” to be pretty beginner, so search that on Amazon, as well.
Hide boxes that aren’t too difficult can also be good for...
My cats are busy kitties, and as a result they are always hungry. We are not always around to feed them, so we leave dry food. The problem is, I don't want them over-eating/eating too fast.
There is no way I'm spending money on a timed feeder--that money is better spent on actual food. I hear...
I know there are kibble slowfeeders, but is there one that can be used for moist? Athena likes to scarf and barf with moist, even if I try giving her a small amount at a time.
There aren't many slowfeeders for wet food, and they're all basically the same idea - maze-type ridges in the bowl that make it harder to bolt the food. These are a few I found on amazon.
There are a couple of tricks you can try to slow Athena's eating too. The first is to take a smaller...
Yes , I have several puzzle feeders! :)
I think all cats should have a puzzle feeder because they are natural hunters and are used to work for their food. Although most cats are now used to get their food in a bowl.
If you start with a puzzle feeder, a cat usually needs a slow introduction...
I have three puzzles feeders for my cats!
This one doesn't slow them down much anymore, but they still have fun hunting in it. And my cats were never binge-vomit type eaters, so I'm not too worried about their speed.
