My cats swat their water bowl all over the place, to the point of tipping it over, so I was interested to see if getting raised bowls like this would help.  They still swat and push the bowl but with this feeder they haven’t been able to tip it over and the bowls can't be pushed as far as the previous set up so I will say that that is a win. The bowls are really cute, big enough for my 2 cats who share food/water bowls and I am very happy with how sturdy the whole thing is. I am not disappointed in this purchase.
