My cat won't eat from her slow feeder. How can I get her to use it?

Question

I bought a slow feeder from the pet store to slow down my cat's eating but she is barely eating and she will walk away from the dish. I don't know what to do if I go back to feeding her like I was she will gorge on her food and then throw it up. How can I get her to start eating more from the slow feeder?

It may just take some time for Pumpkin to get used to the feeder. Some cats also don't like having their whiskers touch the sides of the bowl, so getting a larger sized bowl may also help. If she refuses to use it at all, feeding smaller, more frequent meals in a regular bowl can help her get enough to eat without eating too much and vomiting after a meal.
