LOL, sorry but yes I am allowed to laugh. I had that happen to me... TWICE.

I have to feed the cats on the counter so Kaige doesn't eat their food. I have always been against plastic bowls but after that happened.... twice I finally broke down & bought plastic bowls, the kind with no slip feet on them. Some have no slip feet but they really do slip (the second set of ceramic ones claimed to have no slip feet ). So make sure to try it out before you buy it if you decide to go with that kind.
