Of all the cat bowls and saucers I have bought and trust me there have been many I even own a few wedgewood ones these are my favourites. They look stunning come in a variety of patterns there are strawberry heart carrot and dog bone ones and in different sizes. They wash in warm water and you don't scour them or they scratch but apart from that they are fairly bomb proof . I have different designs for each of my 3 cats so I know who has had what and the kitten has an extra bowl for night time. The bowls are quite substantial so won't get thrown around by an irate dog or enthusiastic rabbit. So go out and get one today better still build yourself a collection.x
