The Jackson Galaxy Eclipse Stainless Steel Bowl is appreciated for its whisker relief design, but many users find it too small and prone to drainage issues. Some cats push food over the edge, leading to wasted food and a disappointing experience for many owners. If you're looking for a whisker-friendly bowl, consider the size and potential issues before purchasing. It works best for cats that don’t eat excessively.
Some cats will push the food bowl around causing the cubed steel bottom to peel off the bowl.
Prevention: Do not allow the cat to push the bowl around the house.

"I am unhappy with the bowl. It’s not sturdy, the water traps after a wash, I have discolored feet that broke off that don't securely play to my cat the food bowl so he instead eats on the floor. He pushes the recommended bowl along the floor and it moves quite easily"
