Description
This is my remix of the latest reinforced version of the Surefeed Microchip Pet Bowl Front Frame. The previous remixes solved the structural issues with the snap-fit legs by thickening and tapering the stanchions for better load distribution, which worked perfectly for durability, but my cat found the original opening a bit too tight. His shoulders would rub against the frame and he sometimes avoided eating or tried to stretch/paw the food out instead.
To fix that, I kept the strengthened leg design but modified the geometry of the front opening. Instead of the narrower tapered shape, I adjusted the frame so the opening maintains an even thickness all the way around, making it slightly wider and more comfortable for cats with broader shoulders. It still prevents the "food thief" cat from accessing the bowl from the front, but now my non-greedy cat can enter naturally without hesitation.
If you’re using a Surefeed bowl and have a larger or fussier cat, this version should give a better fit while keeping the anti-theft function fully intact. No other changes were made.
