Bing Dish

The Bing outdoor cat food dish. Inspired by cat, necessitated by nature, and brought to reality through 3-D printing… and then critiqued by cat again.

Use: Fill the mote around the outside of the dish with as much regular tap water as you can conveniently carry it with. Add 2-3 drops of liquid dish soap to the mote, Dawn if you have it. Then fill the smaller dish in the center with as much cat food as you deem necessary, the bag recommends, or your cat is able to convince you of.

Be advised, the shade of green PETG used for the Bing Dish in the photos attracted a surprising quantity and variety of insects, so be prepared for your Bing Dish to act as a watery grave bug trap as well as a feline feeder.
