Poor old Louis Catorze has been gorging himself silly on Orijen, with no mess whatsoever, since I started sprinkling water over to soften the pieces. On the day of writing this he’d had three breakfasts, and he’s just eating his third dinner of Cat Daddy’s drunkenly-served Orijen soup.
He seems to be finding it much easier to eat, plus he’s probably experiencing the Post-Steroid Hungries, but either way this is good news as we want him to gain weight.
At around the same time of Catorze’s messy eating, but before I knew that he had a problem with his teeth, I also noticed that he would take a mouthful of food, then stand upright to crunch. So I bought him one of those fancy tilted (and unbreakable) bowls that apparently save poor kitty from having to strain his neck downwards to eat.
However, Catorze’s buddy Sammypuss, who sent the little sod the original bowl and the back-up bowl, has very kindly offered him a third, identical one, in the extremely likely event of me smashing the back-up. And Catorze even has his friend Dexter in India scouring the local pottery market for a similar bowl, in the equally likely event of me also smashing the THIRD Sammypuss bowl. So now he has a current bowl, a new tilted bowl still in its packaging, plus half the world’s cats are also busily sourcing bowls for him.
Cat Daddy: “F***ing ridiculous.”
We all know what a cirque de merde it was the last time we changed bowls, so I certainly won’t be deploying the new one until I absolutely have to. So, for the moment, I am handling the current Sammypuss bowl very tenderly indeed, only just stopping short of lining the kitchen sink with bubble wrap before I wash it.
Anyway, Catorze is blissfully unconcerned and gives not a single hoot about his dental condition, about Bowlmageddon, about any of this. Here he is, happily gadding about outside whilst we all run ourselves ragged on his account:

And that’s just as it should be! He’s king of his world! I got my cats a tilted bowl too mostly for Gracie. I can’t tell if she likes it better or not but she eats from it.

I’m also not sure how I will tell if it’s better, especially now that I know the problem was his teeth!

I’m happy to hear Louis likes eating his watered Orijen. Dampening his dry food to soften the pieces was a great idea.

It was certainly easier than finding an appropriate wet food, since he doesn’t like wet food!

Which color did you get? I’d personally go for black but that might be too matchy matchy with le Roi…

I got white because it’s the same colour as the Sammypuss bowl …

So you think you can fool Louis into believing nothing has changed?

Erm, not really. Hence why my friends all over the world are asking for the dimensions of the Sammypuss bowl! 🤣

Please do share the dimensions. We can convert from metric.

Haha, I measured in inches so you won’t need to convert! The base of the bowl is 3” diameter, and the … opening? (I don’t know what you call the top edge) … is 6” diameter. It’s also asymmetric so one side is higher than the other, like the bowls you’d get in fancy restaurants post-2010. 😊
