At what age can kittens use a water bowl?
The weaning process (switching from liquid food like mother's milk or formula) lasts from around 4 to 8 weeks of age. A water bowl can be available from the moment your kitten arrives home. They will curiously approach it and drink if they are thirsty. You don't need to worry that they'll drink from it before they're ready.

What are the best bowls for kittens?
When searching for the best feeding bowls for kittens, consider three key features: shallow, stable, and non-slip. That's all you need. A non-slip base is essential so your kitten can eat and drink without the bowl sliding around, even if they're an eager eater. The edges of kitten bowls should be low so your little one can easily reach their food without getting their whole face messy. If the bowls also have a cute design, that's just a bonus!

What about water bowls or fountains for kittens?
Automatic kitten water fountains and waterers are exceptional products—they save you a significant amount of time and effort. You can purchase a large cat fountain immediately, but there are also smaller models specifically designed for kittens. Standard kitten water bowls should have slightly higher edges than food bowls to prevent water from spilling out easily.

What if my kitten spills their water?
When a kitten eats or drinks, something always ends up outside the bowl. That's why we offer a wide selection of plastic placemats to place under your kitten's bowls and fountains. You can wipe them clean in one go, making it easy to keep your cat's dining area hygienic.
