If you have a kitty that:
1) likes to inhale his food and barfs
2) or is a kitten more interested in playing than eating
3) or is a bit overweight and just needs to slow down to have the time to realize they are full...
then you may be interested in the feeding station I setup!
For under $6 shipped, I picked up a couple Multivet Slimcat Food distributor ball/toys (kibble falls out as it rolls): http://www.amazon.com/MultiVet-SlimC...5680443&sr=8-1
And I picked up a couple Bergan Turbotracks:

With the combination of their turbo-track, little cave they like to hide under (is just a cardboard box with a blanket thrown over it) and little food ball, its a high interest area for em, they get their nourishment w/ a bit of entertainment instead of burying their heads in a bowl, takes em longer to eat so they stop when full, and the ball is contained so no more tracking it all over the house and makes for quick and easy disinfection of that area from time to time.
Only complaint is that the ball is plastic, but its dishwasher safe (should kill all the bacteria), and just scoops right into the bag of kibble for quick and easy measurement and filling. Community can chime in if there are any downsides I'm not aware of, but really happy w/ it and thought I'd share.
