I like that the food bowl is angled. My cat has a tendency to throw up so Im hoping that this helps. Time will tell.  Having the bowls elevated can only help as well. My only complaint is that the water bowl had a paint flaw and it looks like it says Yurami!  Im a little embarrassed about how long I sat there looking at it thinking it was Japanese and questioning what it meant. I had already put food in the food bowl so I didnt have a comparison. I laugh at it now and its just a cat bowl so who cares what it says but it is a glitch and if there was going to be a glitch in the paint, I would obviously have preferred it be in the food bowl where it wouldnt be visible all the time. Otherwise, the bowls are as advertised.
