Domestic cats can eat with a cone on (Elizabethan collar) if the food and water bowls are raised off the floor by about 5 inches. This allows the cone to go either side and underneath the bowls provided the bowl is on a shelf as illustrated in the photographs, which are from the “instructables living” website. Perhaps the key feature is that it is a shelf which allows the part of the comb which is underneath the cat’s chin to pass under the food bowl as stated. It doesn’t have to be a custom-built stand like this. You could probably do it with half a dozen books and the top book would be about four times larger than the ones below it or an unwanted shelf from a kitchen cupboard. That would have the same effect but it would be less stable but there are alternatives. You just have to use your imagination as there are many possibilities.
