GCVOPTON Wide Shallow Ceramic Cat Bowl, 3-Pack, Fish Bone + Cat Claw, non-slip, whisker friendly

Ceramic makes up the dish of this GCVOPTON ceramic cat bowl set, and each of the three plates holds 280 ml. The plates measure 5.9 inches wide and 1.2 inches deep, which is the shallow shape the set is built around, and a silicone pad sits on the base of every one. The manufacturer lists house-cats as the target audience, and the plates suit drinking water, dry food and wet food.

What the three plates bring to the floor

Each plate carries a silicone base, and the manufacturer says that base resists tipping and moving while the cat eats or drinks. The same silicone pad sits between the ceramic and the floor, which the manufacturer describes as protection against scratches, and it also lowers the noise the plate makes.

• The plate is 5.9 inches wide and 1.2 inches deep, so food and water spread across a broad, shallow surface.
• A 280 ml capacity gives each plate room for a portion of dry food, wet food or water.
• The ceramic is food grade, and the set is styled with a cute design.
• The plates are listed for indoor use.
• Beyond cats, the manufacturer also lists puppies, rabbits and hamsters as animals the plates suit.
• The plates can double as candy plates or fruit plates.

Three plates in the pack

The set contains three shallow cat plates. Two carry a fish bone pattern and the third carries a cat claw pattern, which is the colourway listed for the pack.

• 3 shallow cat plates in total
• 2 plates with a fish bone pattern
• 1 plate with a cat claw pattern

Rinsing and what to keep off the plate

Cleaning takes a rinse with water, per the manufacturer. The silicone pad on the base is the reason given for keeping the plates out of the dishwasher and the microwave, so both are listed as not recommended.

How the plates are styled

The pack mixes two patterns, with the fish bone on two plates and the cat claw on the remaining one. The model is GCVOPTON and the plates come in the fish bone and cat claw colourway.

What to check before you buy

A buyer should look at the size against the cat and the spot on the floor. Each plate is 15 cm long, 10.2 cm wide and 2.9 cm high, or 5.9 x 4 x 1.1 inches, and holds 280 ml, so a portion larger than 280 ml fills one plate.

• Check the pattern split if you want a particular plate: two of the three carry the fish bone design and only one carries the cat claw.
• Check the animal: the manufacturer lists house-cats, and also puppies, rabbits and hamsters.
• Check the surface: the silicone base is meant to sit on the floor indoors, where its grip and its scratch protection apply.
