? small dipping bowls to use in the Catemate 500

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Hi I'm looking for a friend I have read that some members use either ceramic or stainless steel dipping bowls that will fit in the catemate 500 even though the slots are triangular
Can anyone tell me where they got them and give me the link for them

Found this pic that someone posted on Amazon but they didn't say where they got them from
Thank you

If you have an Asian grocery store in your area, it's likely you can find a shallow bowl there. Restaurant supply places would be another place to look since some prep bowls are small.

Thanks Sienne

I have small white round Better Homes and Gardens bowls I got from Walmart that fit in the feeder.

Do you have the Catmate 500?

Yes I do. Have had it for about 3 years.

They weren't too high when closing the lid?

Yes…they were the dip bowl ones! Thanks for clarifying. I bought them individually at Walmart so could get as many as I wanted.

Thank you! I’m hoping they will ship. Howie is so darn cute!

You have the Catmate 300 not the 500 right?

The feeder is reliable right? The one I bought didn’t open like it was supposed to. It was the manual knob. @Howiesmom

I know this post is from a month ago, but I wanted to point out that the company (Closer Pets) that makes the Cat Mate C500, now offers an updated version called the Closer Pets C500 ( https://closerpets.com/collections/...feeder-with-stainless-steel-bowl-inserts-c500 )

This new version uses individual stainless steel inserts.

They also sell the stainless steel inserts separately ( https://closerpets.com/products/clo...s-x-5-for-five-meal-automatic-pet-feeders-464 )

The description of the inserts states that they are compatible with the original Cat Mate C500 so they will sit inside the original 5-compartment bowl.
