"My cat, Java eats quickly and then throws up the whole meal. This feeder forces her to slowly savory every bite. She still occasionally vomits, but it has cut down greatly on the rug cleaning bills ;>"
"While this might work for other cats, my Zoey just flips over this bowl to get the treats out and it doesn’t stay in place. She pushed it all over the floor. Overall I’m very disappointed :( and will donate it or throw it away. Waste of money $$ unfortunately."
