But really .... tough.

So, the cats were moving these new stainless steel bowls I bought for them whenever they ate out of them.

I thought about getting the type with the rubber grip bottoms, but they are close to $5.00 each ... and these are only $1.00, so I decided to come up with my own solution to the problem.

I made magnetic place mats (decorated with little black paw prints ... it's a little blurry), and fixed the bowls up with magnets on the bottom of each bowl (used dishwasher safe glue ... tested it, and it works fine).

Now, each bowl is held in place on the mat. And, the mats are too heavy for the cats to push around.

Problem solved, the bowls stay put. Everything can be washed, and things stay cleaner. Plus, the cats don't push the bowls under the counter, and then get frustrated because they can't easily get to the food on the back side of the bowl.

Yeah, I know .... I'm completely maaaaad!!!
