I have used this cat dish twice so far and the first time my cats didn’t know what the heck it was and stayed away from it for a little bit.  That was funny!  Then the youngest of the two cats decided to make the first move, probably because he was hungry and of course hunger wins all the time!  Soon after the older cat comes around and decides to finally eat, not as worried about the new cat dish anymore.  I think they’re going to like it.  I Love it!
