Cat bowls that float on the wall, off the floor and off the dog

- Best for

The CatastrophiCreations feeding shelf is an 8.5 by 11 inch bamboo wall shelf with recessed bowl cutouts, mounted on hidden brackets so it appears to float. Raising the bowls off the floor reduces the neck and joint strain that a floor bowl puts on an older cat, and putting them on a wall means the dog cannot reach them and the floor stays clear for cleaning. Because the cat has to jump or climb furniture to get there, feeding also becomes a small foraging task rather than a bowl that is simply always there. The onyx-finished bamboo reads as furniture rather than pet gear. Best fit: multi-pet homes where the dog raids the cat food, and small apartments with no floor to spare.
Pros
- Puts the food where the dog physically cannot reach it, which ends the raiding problem
- Elevated bowls reduce neck and joint strain for older or arthritic cats
- Hidden brackets give a floating look that reads as shelving, not pet gear
- Frees the floor completely, which matters in a small apartment
Cons
- You have to mount it into studs or use proper anchors, so this is a drill-and-level project, not a peel-and-stick
Frequently asked questions
Does it come with bowls?
The shelf has recessed cutouts sized for standard small pet bowls. Check the listing configuration you select, since bowl inclusion varies by option.
How high should it be mounted?
Most owners mount it 12 to 24 inches off the floor, high enough that a dog cannot reach but low enough that an older cat does not have to leap.
Will it hold a heavy cat?
The shelf is rated to hold the bowls and a cat leaning in to eat. Mount into studs rather than drywall anchors if your cat is large.
Is it easy to clean?
The bamboo wipes down with a damp cloth. Lift the bowls out to wash them separately rather than washing the shelf itself.
