Note those complicated bowls may result in your cat being noticeably more disagreeable than before, from experience. My guy hates that damned bowl with such a passion it's funny to watch him try and figure out how to destroy it so he doesn't have to deal with it anymore.
I'm struggling to imagine what a complicated bowl looks like. Do you have a link to one I can take a geez at?
We've tried a few over the years. This is one of the ones we've used.

Probably something like this
Ok I'm with the cat on this. That bowl would piss me off.
they're commonly known as busy bowls.
we had to get one for a young dog we took in. he was used to food being scarce, and would gulp down any given to him. the busy bowls make them work for it, so it slows them down a bit.
This sounds so crazy imma need u to elaborate
He is a used cat, no idea how he grew up so not sure what caused it, but he is quite aggressive with food. He eats so quickly when using a normal bowl that he sometimes will even throw it right back up.
There is a clear difference in his demeanor when he gets fed with a bowl that forces him to eat slower. Not quite angry, but he clearly hates it and his demeanor shows it. He is not a happy kitty when he eats from those bowls.
