What kind of material is better for the cat bowl?
Currently, most cat bowls on the market are made of plastic, ceramic, stainless steel, glass or wood. Many people who raise cats for the first time see so many types of cat bowls and don't know which material to choose. The following article will specifically analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different materials of cat bowls for you. Help you choose a cat bowl that best suits your cat.
1. Plastic cat bowl
Plastic is the most widely used in cat supplies. It is divided into PP, ABS, PC and so on. Among them, PP is the most common material of cat bowl. Because PP plastic has the characteristics of lightness, diversified shapes, and drop resistance. Many people who raise cats for the first time buy the plastic cat bowls. It should be noted that plastic cat bowls are prone to aging due to high temperature, ultraviolet rays and other factors. There will be gaps on the surface of the cat bowl, and it is easy to breed bacteria, which will eventually cause the cat to suffer from folliculitis.
2. Ceramic material
The ceramic cat bowl is fired at high temperature. The higher the firing temperature of the ceramic, the harder the cat bowl, the better the density and the better the finish. Therefore, this type of ceramic cat bowl is less prone to scratches. But the disadvantage of ceramics is that it is fragile and not suitable for active cats.
3. Glass cat bowl
Glass cat bowl is also a very safe material. It has the advantages of non-fading, abrasion resistance, and high temperature resistance. However, due to the manufacturing process and other factors, its price will be much more expensive than the ceramic cat bowl, and at the same time, it is easy to break due to sudden cold and heat.
4. Wooden cat bowl
The wooden cat bowl has good ornamental properties, and its surface is coated with environmentally friendly paint to prevent mildew. At the same time, it is also very light and not easy to break, so it has gradually begun to attract attention. The only drawback is that after a long time of use, the environmentally friendly paint will fall off, and the wooden cat bowl will become moldy, which is not suitable for long-term use.
