Cat guide
A personalised cat bowl with their name on it: what to know first
Most personalised pet bowls are sold with dogs in mind, but a smaller one can suit a cat just as well. This guide covers which of our bowls suits a cat, what the bowl is actually made of, and what we can and can’t tell you before you order.
Which size suits a cat?
For most cats, the 18 oz bowl is the one to look at. It holds about 532 ml and is 12.5 cm wide and 7 cm high, using Printful’s official size guide. A cat meal is usually far smaller than that, so the bowl won’t be full, and that’s fine: the extra room means less food pushed over the edge.
The 32 oz bowl (about 946 ml, 17.2 cm wide, 8 cm high) is mainly for bigger dog meals. Some people use it as a water bowl for a multi-cat home, but for a single cat’s food it is more bowl than you need.
What the bowl is
- Stainless steel, double-walled, with an anti-slip rubber base that snaps onto the bottom ridges.
- Printed by sublimation with the name you type at checkout, made to order by Printful after you pay.
- Cleaning: Printful’s product description says it is dishwasher safe with the rubber base removed. It is metal, so it doesn’t go in the microwave.
Things we won’t claim
You’ll see a lot of confident advice online about cats preferring particular bowl shapes or materials. We sell one bowl shape, and we’re not vets, so we won’t tell you this bowl fixes fussy eating or anything else. If your cat has a feeding or health issue, your vet is the right person to ask. We’re also a new shop with no reviews to show yet, and the photos with names on them are illustrative previews on Printful’s photos of the blank bowl.
Getting the name right
- Type the name exactly as it should appear, up to 16 characters. We print what you enter.
- Choose classic serif, modern sans or playful script lettering, in charcoal, deep navy, forest green or terracotta.
- Want the name on the wall too? The 21 × 30 cm typographic name print uses the same name and lettering.
Delivery and returns
Each bowl is printed after you order and shipped by Printful within Australia, with delivery included in the price. Allow roughly 1–3 weeks (an estimate; we have not shipped a sample yet). Because each bowl carries a name, there are no change-of-mind returns, but a faulty, damaged or misprinted bowl is replaced free or refunded, and you don’t send it back. The details are in the returns policy.
