The name

ごろごろ gorogoro means the rumble of a contented cat.

ごろごろ gorogoro is the sound a cat makes when things are going well. It is also, unhelpfully, the sound of something heavy rolling downhill. Japanese is full of words doing two jobs at once.

Every word we use, explained

Why it exists

Some cats treat a full bowl as a race against nobody in particular.

This one has a ridged maze in the base, so the food takes longer to get out and there is a small puzzle involved in getting it. Mealtime stops being a four-second event and becomes something they have to think about.

It is low, wide, and stays put mid-enthusiasm. It also rinses clean in seconds, which matters more than it sounds when you are doing it twice a day.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself

Fill the maze

Tip dinner into the ridged base instead of a flat dish.

They slow down

Getting each piece out takes a tongue, a paw, and a moment of thought.

Dinner takes minutes

A four-second gulp becomes two or three minutes of work.

Questions

The things people ask

What does gorogoro mean?

ごろごろ gorogoro is the Japanese word for the rumble a cat makes when things are going well.

How big is the Gorogoro Bowl?

23 cm across and 5 cm tall. Low and wide, so it stays put while your cat works at it.

Does a maze bowl work with wet food?

Yes, with chunky wet food and with kibble. Very runny food defeats the maze.

What if my cat refuses to use it?

Some cats decide maze bowls are beneath them. Introduce it gradually alongside the usual bowl, and if it still does not work our 30-day return policy covers wounded pride.

How do I clean it?

It rinses clean in seconds.
