This is a great product for our cat. The old feeding bowls were low on the ground and she would be squatting to eat and drink all the time, plus play in her water as well. At first she didnt recognize it and started grabbing pieces and dropping them on the floor. After a day she adjusted and is standing and sitting while eating and drinking. The bowls are pretty deep so we left the side with the food in it up because we feed her in the mornings and evenings. Definitely a great buy and super easy to put together.
