I've done this but he thinks it's fun to play with it and I end up sweeping up more than he eats.
This may sound extreme for some pet owners, but I use 12 types (for the moment) of kibbles for my boys. I simply want them to be exposed to as many types as possible so that they will not get stuck on one or a few particular brands. I have a few food bowls laid out;
First bowl contains a mixture of several kitten kibbles [similar sized kibbles]:
1) RC Kitten
2) Hill's Science Diet Kitten
3) Purina Pro Plan Kitten
4) Wellness CORE [Protein Focused Grain Free]
Second bowl [large sized kibble]:
5) RC Maine Coon 31
Third bowl with:
6) Origen Fish
7) Origen Poultry
8) Addiction Salmon Bleu (Grain Free)
Fourth bowl with:
9) RC Hair & Skin
10) RC Pure Feline - Active
11) RC Pure Feline - Beauty
12) RC Exigent - Savour
OMG, don't think there are many of us on here that would go to that length to feed our kitties a varied diet :suprised:
*Aside from RC Maine Coon which they will chew (I can hear them crunching the kibbles), the other kibbles are gobbled and swallowed without chewing.
I use a Reverse Osmosis water filter for their drinking water. Aside from a water bowl, my boys love it when I use a plastic disposable 10 cc syringe to feed them several times a day.
The water dispenser I like the sound of, as for the syringe, um....... not so sure :winkwink:
Merlin loves to topple the water bowl especially whenever I refill the water in the bowl. Tried to use blu-tack to stick under the bowl to the floor but without much success.
Yeah, don't think there is an answer to this one :stressed:
My RC Maine Coon kibbles are hard... tried throwing a kibble or two against the wall and they bounce back hard too!
:nod:
