If your cat tends to get “feline acne” on her chin, the culprit may be her food dish. Experts say that plastic dishes can get scratched up and harbor bacteria, even if they’re cleaned regularly. Stainless steel, glass or ceramic dishes, on the other hand, are easier to clean, which can keep your cat healthier and happier. If you use ceramic dishes, be sure they are made with food-safe glaze. Most cats prefer flatter dishes so their whiskers don’t press against the edge of the bowl. Also, don’t use “double dishes” with food and water side by side; food can get into the water and make it unpleasant for the cat to drink.

and doesn’t stop. She starts meowing and then cuts it off xD
For multi-cat households, unless cats get served on individual dishes, stainless steel puppy feeding bowls are great; they come in various sizes. The food doesn’t get spread all over, and many cats can eat at the same time wihout infringing on others’ territory!
I don’t think that plastic food dishes should even be made for pets; toxins from certain plastics can even leach into their water!
Stainless steel is the best!
actually bowls are just fine for cats. my cats eat their meals out bowls made for cats they dont have problem with it. just make sure its wide enough and shallow and can hold enough food for a meal for them
