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!!!

Then I must be more mad... I got so frustrated with the cat tipping her water bowl over that I took two gladware containers, screwed one to the floor, and nested the other one in it. Now I can take out the top one, wash and refill it, but she can't tip it over no matter how hard she tries.
