I've been reading a lot about cleanliness of cat bowls lately and wanted to compile info about different types of bowls and how good/bad they are for both wet food, dry food and water. Also, my mom's cat got some kind of E-Coli infection and needed antibiotics, and it may've been from an unclean bowl? So if anyone has info about the following, please share!
-Ceramic Bowls(The ones they sell at pet stores)
-Metal Bowls
-Glass Bowls
-Plastic Bowls
-Plastic food mats
-Cloth food mats
-The plastic automatic fountains (W/ filters or w/o)
Also, please advice on how and how often to wash them. Dishwasher? Soap? Hot Water? Is it different for them if they hold wet, dry or water?Anything else not mentioned here would be cool too!
