What is whisker fatigue?

Whiskers are wonderful things. They can help cats detect changes in the air current, so they can navigate their way through narrow openings and dark spaces. But that also means we can be subject to an affliction known as “whisker fatigue.”

When their whiskers are forced into close contact with the sides of our bowls, it can get extremely painful. And that’s why cats don’t always finish their food. Not necessarily because it’s the wrong food – but because it’s the wrong bowl.

The signs of whisker fatigue:

• Leaving food in the bowl, but is still hungry.
• Pulling food out of the bowl with their mouth or paw to eat off the floor.
• Leaving a mess behind on the floor.
• Only eating form the center of the bowl.
• Acting aggressive toward other animals in the house during mealtime.
• Standing by the bowl before eating for a period of time, pacing around the bowl, or being hesitant to eat, though hungry.

What type of metal is the bowl made from?

Dr. Catsby’s Bowl is made from #304 food service grade stainless steel. This is the same grade of stainless steel as used in milk pasteurization, beer brewing, cookware, and eating utensils.

Stainless steel is one of the most common materials found in kitchens today. It's used in everything from appliances to cookware, dishware, flatware, and utensils because it is durable, easy to sanitize, and corrosion resistant to various acids found in meats, milk, fruits and vegetables. Most importantly though, stainless steel is a safe option when it comes to use with food and beverage, as there are no chemicals that can migrate into your food from these products.

Is this bowl BPA free?

Yes! We're proud to say that the grade of stainless steel used makes our bowl BPA free.

What types of food can be used in this bowl?
