• In the Summer, flies choose moist cat food in which to lay their eggs. The cat may return to eat contaminated food. This is harmful to cats and can cause illness. The Pedal Bowl denies access to flies so the food is not contaminated.

• The food is accessible to cats at all times.

• Some cat owners feed their cats outside the house. Birds often feed from ordinary cat food bowls, making them an easy target for cats. The Pedal Bowl denies access to cat food if outside; thus reducing the likelihood that birds fall prey to cats.

• Some cat owners find the smell of cat food repugnant. Some houses do have a very distinctive smell of cat food if there are a number of cat food bowls. The Pedal Bowl reduces the possibility of the smell of cat food.

• The bowl will be made of plastic, and is very easy to clean. It can be put through a dish washer.

• With only three components, it is simple to manufacture.

• If a cat owner has a larger dog, the dog may be denied access to cat food because it cannot get into the Pedal Bowl.

• The Pedal Bowl is a major contribution to better healthcare for cats.

• The Pedal Bowl won the Best Invention Award on ‘Tomorrow’s World’ on BBC 1.
