加瀬 エレナ 5 One of my two cats is always pushing the food forward in the plate and most of the time, the food spills out on the floor. This plate has a taller, vertical side (near "ears") that stops the food from falling out. My second cat is playing with the plate before finishing food and is turning it upside down, making a mess. This model of plates and the silicon mat put under them (which stops the plates from moving) are very helpful. I will definitely buy again in the future. Thank you!
