Moderna Double Trendy Dinner Maasai, 2×350 ml is a versatile double plastic bowl for cats from the Belgian brand Moderna. Two separate 350 ml sections let you serve wet and dry food, or main food and treats, without mixing textures or smells. It's made of BPA-free plastic, has a non-slip base and doesn't absorb food odours. Its special feature is a moat around the base that can be filled with water to keep ants away from the food. It measures 16.5×27×6 cm and has a grey-and-white Maasai design.
Why a double bowl
A double bowl saves space and simplifies feeding: both portions sit side by side and don't drift apart. It's handy for mixed feeding — a little wet food plus dry kibble. More on mixed feeding in dry or wet food for cats. The bowl also suits small dogs, ferrets and small animals.

How the insect moat works
There's a small moat around the base. If ants are a problem at home or at a country house, fill it with water to create a barrier insects can't cross, keeping the food clean. It doesn't get in your cat's way while eating. It's especially useful in summer, at a dacha or in a private house.
Food and water in one bowl
The double bowl is ideal for two kinds of food. You can put water in one section, but many cats drink more readily when water is away from food — an instinctive preference. If your cat drinks little, put an extra water bowl elsewhere. More in how much water a cat should drink.
Plastic, ceramic or steel
Plastic is light, cheap and unbreakable but scratches over time. Ceramic is heavier and more stable, while steel is more hygienic and durable. If your cat develops blackheads or chin irritation, try a ceramic or steel bowl such as the Trixie Oval Bowl or CROCI Bamboo. More in dog and cat bowls: how to choose.
Where to put the bowl
Place the bowl somewhere quiet, away from the litter box and busy walkways, where your cat won't be disturbed while eating. Cats dislike eating near their toilet, and bustle around them can make them abandon a meal. In a multi-pet home, each animal should have its own bowl.
Care
Wash the bowl after every wet-food meal and daily with dry food. It's dishwasher-safe. Avoid abrasive sponges, as scratches in plastic harbour bacteria. If the surface becomes rough, replace the bowl. A mat underneath helps, for example the Pet Food Mat.
Who it suits
Owners of cats on mixed feeding and anyone with ants at home or at a country house. It also suits small dogs, ferrets and small animals. More models are in the cat bowls section.
Verdict
The Moderna Double Trendy Dinner Maasai is a 2×350 ml double plastic bowl with a non-slip base, ant moat and durable print, and it's dishwasher-safe. Handy for mixed feeding. The downsides are that plastic scratches over time and cats are better off with water away from their food.
