The "Up Off the Floor" Elevated Pet Bowl Stand 🎯

My daughter Lauren has a special-needs cat, Nora, who could not eat with her head down at floor level. I watched them balance Nora's bowl on a jar of peanut butter so she could reach it, and sit with her through every single meal. I said I can fix that. The black prototype worked straight away, and Nora has eaten unsupervised with no issues since. Her housemate, The Professor, has quietly claimed the prototype for himself.

🟩 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞

▸ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝘆 — Sized for the Boots & Barkley matte stainless steel cat and dog dish, 13.2 oz, sold at Target. Its rim measures 158 mm (6.22 in) across and the deck opening is 149 mm, so the bowl drops in, hangs on its own lip, and lifts straight back out for washing.

▸ 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗹𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗼 — Measure across the outside of your bowl's rim, then scale the whole model in X and Y until the opening lands about 9 mm under that number. It is one solid part, so a single scale factor is the entire adjustment.

▸ 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗢𝗻 𝗜𝘁? — What downloads here is the plain deck. A version with a pet's name repeating around the opening, like the one in the photos, is something I make on request — it started as Nora's, after all. Ask and I will cut you one.

▸ 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 — Raising the bowl off the floor makes eating and drinking more comfortable for any pet instead of forcing a hunch to reach it.

▸ 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 — Getting the bowl up and off the floor helps keep the feeding area cleaner instead of spills spreading everywhere.

▸ 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 — A 200 × 200 mm deck on four legs, 147 mm tall as modeled. Scale the height on its own in your slicer if your pet wants the bowl lower or higher; nothing else has to change.
