I just feel that metal bowls are "harsh" and I certainly wouldn't want to
eat out of one, so I won't do that to my cats, either. :-) Years ago I
found out the hard way about the plastic bowls. My poor little cat
developed horrible sores around her mouth, even though I had always
religiously washed those plastic bowls in the dishwasher. The vet told me
about the bacteria, but also said that cats can sometimes be allergic to
the plastic.
