Granite ceramic cat bowl

A cat is a cat is a cat? You will realize this misconception at the latest when you share your life with a velvet paw. One cat behaves like a diva and rejects such ordinary things as food as a matter of principle. Other cats are playful maniacs and want to examine their food bowl thoroughly first. And quite a few cats eat in shifts, so to speak: a bite here, a nibble there, but woe betide us, it smells slightly stale.

Can openers around the world are familiar with all these challenges when feeding their cats. However, what some are not (yet) aware of is that many cats are irritated when their whiskers touch the bowl and walls. This is not the result of a diva-like character, but the natural discomfort caused by the irritation of sensitive sensory organs. The design of this cat bowl takes the sensitivity of the whiskers into account: the cat can eat from the extra-flat and extra-wide bowl without the wall interfering with its whiskers. At the same time, the curved inner wall, which rises without edges, makes it easier to pick up the food.

The material and shape of the cat bowl is also tailored to the natural behavior, preferences and needs of a velvet paw.

The Coburg-based Keramische Werkstätten Denk - nomen est omen - have given a lot of thought to the different needs and behaviors of dogs and cats and have finally developed these food bowls in various designs. What all the bowls have in common is the material: Granicium®, a special form of granite ceramic. The granite comes from the German low mountain ranges; the rock flour is processed into clay with the addition of spring water, Effective Microorganisms (EM) and lactic acid cultures.

• The resulting Granicium®, which is fired at high temperatures, is naturally free from metals and any plasticizers and is also particularly dense, strong and very robust.

• Tiny ground rutile crystals (titanium dioxide) have also been added to the granite ceramic to achieve a small photocatalytic self-cleaning effect: When exposed to light, the surface has a slight antimicrobial effect, reducing unpleasant odors on the material surface.

• The surface is typically fine and slightly rough - not too much so as not to affect your pet's tongue, but enough to prevent the food from falling out of the bowl when lapped up (as can easily happen with very smooth bowls).

The shape of the bowls is just as well thought out as the choice of material.

• Their center of gravity is very low so that they cannot tip over.

  Thanks to their considerable weight, they cannot be easily pushed around.

• The wall of the round bowl "glides" up from the floor seamlessly, without any obstructive edges or corners, so that your pet can press the food against the wall and pick it up without leaving any residue.

Should a small mishap happen to your furry friend despite all the foresight and foresight: The Granicium® food bowls can be put in the dishwasher. They are also suitable for the microwave and convection oven and can be used to prepare and serve hot food. And leftover food can easily be covered with a second of the stackable bowls, which can be used as a water bowl, for example, and offered to the pet at a later date.
