Cats are very clean, so much so that they not only spend a large part of their time grooming themselves, but they also need that the litter tray does not smell bad and has more or less clean sand, and that the feeder only smells of their food, to say that do not have any kind of dirt.
So, we have no choice but to look for one that he and we really like, since there are felines that, due to their size, could overturn those that weighed little, such as plastic ones. Choosing a cat feeder, however, is not always an easy task. But don't worry: we are going to tell you what are the advantages and disadvantages of the different types out there to make it easier for you to choose.
In pet stores we will find several types of cat feeders, which are stainless steel, plastic and ceramic. Each of them can be very useful as long as we take into account their characteristics.
Stainless steel feeders
Advantages
These types of feeders are made of a material that does not rust, but also weighs little. There are some that even have a non-slip cover (usually black), so they are highly recommended for all types of cats, both large and small. In addition, they are very easy to clean, and reasonably inexpensive, costing about $5 the simplest.
Drawbacks
Those without a sheath they slide very easily, so they can end up on the other side of the room if the cat has enjoyed the food.
Plastic feeders
Advantages
These types of feeders are the most common. They come in many different colors and shapes, and for many cats they are a great option. They are also very easy to clean, and can last for many years. In addition, they are very economical, costing between 2 and 4 euros the simplest.
Drawbacks
The main drawback is that they weigh very little. If you have a large cat, this can be a problem.
Ceramic feeders
Advantages
They are the last that we find in the market. They are very beautiful, with very decorative designs. They can be easily cleaned, leaving them as new after each wash. There are those that are very cheap, costing about 2-5 euros.
Drawbacks
Ceramic is a material that if it falls to the ground breaks very easily, so we must be very careful every time we handle these feeders.
