Aldi easy reach cat food holder

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

My best buddy Gary is a cat. She eats Aldi brand cat food.
I made this easy-reach cat food holder for her.
It's inscribed with a quote from Gary herself: "Put the food in the cat"
This print solves two problems for me:
1) It has an extension-handle so I don't have to stoop over to place her food on the floor or bend down to pick up her empties. I'm very tall, getting older and have misspent my youth playing in the street. Squatting down is one of my least favorite activities. The long handle eliminates this.
2) Keeps the odd-shaped food container from sliding around on the kitchen floor. Often her food would get under a cabinet or appliance where neither one of us could easily reach it. Both of us would make annoyed-noises when this happens.
If you elect to use the extension-handle (optional), you'll need a length of 5mm rod of some suitable material and a dab of glue.
The base has some recesses for adding rubber feet if you so desire.
