The mats were car/truck signage blanks (you know the type .... they stick on the side of the car to advertise something).
I took cut out style magnets (like the type you put on photos to stick them up) and cut them into round shapes to glue on the bowl bottoms.
The magnets on the bowls and the ones on the mats were themselves too weak to hold, so I bought some disc type neodymium magnets (three per mat) and placed them where I want the bowls to go.
The neodymium magnets hold on tight to the mat, so the cats can't move them off. They also stay on the mat when I pull the bowls off to wash them.
I found the little paw print stickers at Wal-Mart, and those stay on the mats beautifully, even when I wash the mats.
It was a fun little project. I'll probably write it up on my blog.
