So since we’ve been in the house-hunting, house-diy-transformation-mode, there are a few blogs I’ve been keeping daily tabs on for inspiration and ideas. One of them being Young House Love – I love their design style, their writing style and the fact that the are no experts… makes me feel like I can do it too. So I saw a random post about their doggie food and water dish and it totally got me thinking.

I couldn’t pay our cat in cat-nip to keep his food in his dish. It’s almost like he pushes his food out of his bowl onto the floor because he knows it’s my pet peeve.. ha pet pun. Even so that he thinks he is too good to eat it off the floor. His bowl can be empty and food surrounding it on the floor, yet he still makes his whiny-food noise. Drive me nuts.

So thinking like the Young House Lovers, I headed to Target on my lunch break to see what I could come up with for a solution. I found this cute teal-blue dish and grey serving bowls and thought it was perfect.

He immediately had to test them out – noisy cat. They have been working great, and I love the splash of elegant color. The only thing is they are super slippery and slide a little bit. I plan to add some type of grip (maybe velcro?) to keep them more in place. The dish does help a bit because it is curved upwards. This cat is so spoiled…
