The Aurex Slow-Feeder Bowl solves this problem in a way no other bowl can: with an \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated maze structure made from stoneware ceramic\u003c\/strong\u003e that divides the food into several small sections and automatically slows every meal. At the same time, the bowl sits on an architectural wire stand made from powder-coated iron — an object you display, not hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is made from \u003cstrong\u003estoneware ceramic, fired at 1260 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e — a high-temperature firing process that fully vitrifies the clay matrix and produces a water absorption rate of under 0.5%. No micropores where bacteria, odors, or food residue could penetrate. The \u003cstrong\u003efeldspar-based reactive glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e is tested to \u003cstrong\u003eEN 12875 (European standard for food contact materials)\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEU Regulation 10\/2011\u003c\/strong\u003e — completely free of lead, cadmium, barium, and heavy metals. Scratch-resistant, dishwasher-safe, permanently hygienic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stand is made from \u003cstrong\u003epowder-coated round iron (Ø 4 mm rod steel)\u003c\/strong\u003e — an electrostatic powder coating process in which epoxy-polyester powder is baked on at 180–200 °C. The result is a surface that is harder, more scratch-resistant, and more corrosion-resistant than any wet paint. The open \u003cstrong\u003ecage construction\u003c\/strong\u003e of the stand is not just aesthetic — it allows complete air circulation beneath the bowl and prevents the mold growth that can occur with enclosed stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eThe Slow-Feeder Maze Structure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic labyrinth ridges (maze structure)\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated into the bowl divide the feeding surface into several separate food chambers. The cat must guide its tongue precisely between the ridges to reach the food — slowing the eating speed by up to 10 times. Veterinary studies show that slower eating reduces air intake during swallowing, prevents post-meal vomiting, improves the feeling of fullness, and increases mental stimulation. The ridges are made from the same stoneware as the bowl — smoothly glazed, with no sharp edges, no risk of injury to the cat's sensitive tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eErgonomics \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe elevated position on the \u003cstrong\u003e10 cm wire stand\u003c\/strong\u003e brings the bowl rim to a height that places the cat's cervical spine in a natural position during eating — particularly recommended for older cats, cats with arthritis, or megaesophagus. The wide, shallow bowl shape prevents \u003cstrong\u003eWhisker Fatigue\u003c\/strong\u003e — the stress caused by constant whisker contact with the bowl wall. The black-and-white color concept — matte white stoneware, matte black powder-coated iron — is timeless and fits any interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Capacity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 0.9rem; margin-top: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f5f0ee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F;\"\u003eBowl Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eØ 15 cm (5.9 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f5f0ee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F;\"\u003eBowl Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e3.3 cm (1.3 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f5f0ee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F;\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eapprox. 280 ml (9.5 fl oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f5f0ee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F;\"\u003eStand Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003eØ 15.8 cm (6.2 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f5f0ee;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F;\"\u003eStand Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e10 cm (3.9 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; color: #C4714F;\"\u003eFiring Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px;\"\u003e1260 °C (Stoneware)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 400; color: #C4714F; margin-top: 36px; border-bottom: 1px solid #f0e0d6; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic bowl is dishwasher safe — top rack recommended.
