Feeding a cat from two dishes on the floor means bending down to fill them, sliding them back into place when they wander off across the tiles, and watching your cat crouch over both. Lifting the pair into a stand and tilting them towards the cat deals with all three at once, and puts food and water side by side where a glance tells you what needs topping up.

Both bowls are ceramic, held in a metal frame (gold or black, depending on the colourway) with a cat-ear motif. Ceramic is the genuinely useful part: it has weight, it wipes clean, and unlike plastic it does not pick up the fine scratches that hold bacteria and are linked to chin acne. The bowls lift straight out of the frame, so washing them takes seconds rather than manoeuvring a whole stand over the sink.

• Two ceramic bowls in one raised stand
• Bowls set at a gentle tilt towards the cat
• Gold or black metal frame with a cat-ear motif
• Bowls lift out for washing
• Stand holds both bowls steady on the floor

Two things worth knowing. And many cats prefer their water well away from their food, so if yours paws at the water or drinks from taps, use both bowls for food and put water in another room.

Who it's for: Cat owners who want a tidy raised feeding station that cleans easily, and older cats who eat more comfortably with the bowl brought up to them.
