Highlighted Reviews
"This bowl/shelf is amazing. It’s well made and sturdy. Due to the material my walls are made of and the heft of my cats I didn’t use the provided screws and wall anchors just to be safe. Miep hangs out in this bowl every day without fail. I’m going to have to buy a couple more I suspect!"
