Step 9Reinstall and Reap The Savings
The only step left is to reinstall your modded brim onto your CatGenie. There are no special instructions - it works the same as it did before.
Now, however, this improvisational flange will stay pressed against the side of the bowl, keeping out all the little escape artists and preventing their escape. They'll have to get out the normal way - on the bottom of cat feet.
A Word Of Caution:
You may be tempted, since you have all this extra silicone mat, to continue this modification all the way around the circumference of the brim, sealing the little buggers in for all time. I strongly advise against this. I tried it this way, and the increased friction from the flange kept the bowl from rotating CCW. The friction was so great that I could not turn the bowl. It may not seem like much, but it adds up.
I hope this Instructable helps - Enjoy.
