He has three bowels

The poor thing, lol.

No dog, but I feel for you. We have a new kitty who has to be fed separately from the adult cat. I'll be glad when he's old enough to eat the same food.

One of my neighbors put a cat door in a downstairs (basement) bathroom. It was a good-sized room, so she had both the litter box and food there. Kept the dogs away from both. I think the litter box was in the tub and the food was right by the door.

When we had cats, we put a small doggie door... um, kitty door...in the door that led from the finished side of our basement to the unfinished side. We kept cat food and litter box on the unfinished side of the basement. When we also had a dog, she couldn't get thru the little door but the cats could.

We have a new kitty and a dog ad have the same problem. My husband came up with a great idea. We put the food in a bathroom. He put up a baby gate(just a regular inexpensive tension one) in the doorway. He put it up a few inches from the floor so the cat fits under it but the dog does not. It works perfectly!

we put a long baby gate in our upstairs hall near the back stairs--- we did that before we got our kitty to keep our dogs from having full rein of the house. we keep her food and water bowl on the other side of the gate in the hallway--we have tall bookshelves in the hallway, and we keep her food there (she only eats dry food). it has worked out great!
our golden lab who often is allowed in the rest of the house knows she cannot eat the cat's food.
[i also keep a small bowl of water for our kitty on our kitchen counter!]

We keep our cats dishes in our walk in pantry which has no door. After the first time our puppy ate the food, we put something across the door to keep her out and every time she showed an interest we would tell her no and redirect her attention. Eventually, she got the idea and stopped going near there. It took a couple of months but a few weeks ago we were able to open the entry back up and she hasn't entered it once. Now when I go in there, she'll follow me to the entrance but wait at the door for me to exit and she shows no interest in the food at all.

Once you find the spot you want to keep the bowls in, I would suggest you do the same, just corner it off, tell the dog no when it goes near there and find something to redirect it's attention with, a toy, a treat, whatever. After a while, it will get the idea and leave the area alone.

My cat's food is on the counter top in the laundry room. It's tucked in an out of the way spot, next to a sink, so clean up is easy. However, Buck is 15 yo and has severe mast cell tumors. They will likely start spreading internally and his mobility will decrease so Dawnp just really helped me out on were to put the kitty food when the time comes. Thanks!

When we had two cats, we fed one on the kitchen counter (sorry for those squeamish about cats on counters!) and one in the laundry room because our male would eat the female's food. DH (a welder) fashioned a heavy-duty stainless steel hook and latch for the inside of the laundry door so the door, when latched, would only open far enough for the cat to fit through. When we redid the laundry, we removed the hook since our female cat had died. Our male now eats on top of the dryer. Of course, the latch only works if your dogs are larger than your cats.:)

On top of the dryer. She has her own step stool too! The two big dogs are fed in the same room.

Glaser, I love your kitchen! And the cats too. :) My Lizzie is always sitting on the bar, then when I come into the kitchen she has to have water out of the faucet.

She even has her own glass of water next to the sink!

I use pretty placemats to put her bowls on, on top of the dryer. The dogs have their own placemat too!

Cat bowls are on the dryer in our laundry room. With having 4 to feed, there are always 2 full dog food size stainless bowls of dry food, along with two water bowls that I refill during the day. I have one cat who is a bit curvy, who should not have the luxury of free feeding, but there's really no other way that would work in our house.

On top of the dryer. But there is only one water dish near the kitchen and the dogs and cat share it.

Kitty door leading to the garage. Food and litter boxes are inside. I also have a litter box and water bowl in the master bath. When she first joined our household we acclimated her in our room and also fed her there. We had another cat and two dogs at the time.

I don't have a bathroom I can designate the cat room unfortunately. I guess I could use the kitchen counter, but between the two options, I guess the DR table is the better one since we rarely use it.

We stack our washer dryer, or that would have been a good option because that area is near his litter box.

If he wasn't getting the fancy feast, I think the dog would leave his dry food alone. Sometimes I catch the dog up on two legs carefully snatching the fancy feast bowl off the DR table to lick any crumbs left over from Oliver's dinner.

Although, maybe I should just let the dog get the bowl after Oliver eats. It would eliminate the dried on cat food mess!

I have to feed the cats on the dining table (I use a table cloth) but I saw something really cute on Pinterest where the gal made a cat station out of a secretary. I bought a small bakers rack to use for the cats, but it's not big enough for all four at once, plus their water dish.

I don't have any other place to feed them...can't have a cat door since the laundry is in the garage (which is usually open) or a basement. In my next house I will have a dedicated cat room.

I feed my cat on top of the dryer, otherwise the dog would eat her food.
