The aim of the project was to create a cat bowl that benefits both the cat and the user. I wanted the bowl to grow with the cat by considering it as a kitten, teenager and a fully grown cat. Through research into cats health I found that raising the height of the bowl and putting it at a slight angle seriously improves the cats digestion. I also found that having a bowl that is too deep leads to sensory overload when the cats whiskers brush against the side of the bowl. Portion control was also a key consideration as overfeeding can lead to other more severe health problems for the cat.
