Title: Multiple cat, and puppy feeder

Description:
The Multiple Cat and Puppy Feeder is designed so that each group of pets has its own individual feeding compartment. The walls are designed to direct the pets attention to the feeding bin. This is a training exerise for later use for the direction of later individual feeding as during weaning. The Multiple Cat and Puppy Feeder comes in four sizes. Four, eight, twelve, and sixteen, also by special order. One can feed at least twelve-small pets at one time. The Multiple Cat and Puppy Feeder has a special designed scooped bottom for easy cleaning.  
      First you fill the bottom of the feeding tray with food. You lead your pet or pets to their places and let them eat. It will not be long before they can find their places and feed themselves without a problem. Place the food wet or dry in the compartments you wish to feed them from. This set comes with a thirteen inch T handle for carrying or placing the Multi-Feeder. The handle screws into the middle of the Feeder for easier handling.  
    
    
     THE MULTIPLE CAT AND PUPPY FEEDER BACKGROUND  
      We were surprised with eighteen puppies and a measure of cats at the same time. When they were old enough we would put down pans of food at feeding time. This was hilarious to watch, there must be a better way so we came up with the Multiple Cat and Puppy Feeder.  
      In summary the object is to feed your pet puppies and cats. The second object is to do this comfortably. You use the T shape or ball shape handle to manuever the stalls for the best placement for feeding. Right in the bottom of the stalls are the rounded bins. You measure the food wet or dry and feed them. When they are finished eating take a sponge dipped in soapy water and wipe out the round bottom bowl shaped bins then rinse with clear water and the feeder can be used again.
