I can't help but agree with enigmabear's point. Perhaps you can glue the bowl together with a non-toxic glue (I've heard that hot glue guns use glues that are safe for plants, for instance) and use it as a decorative plant holder in the garden... or make a mosaic with the broken pieces... (to avoid sending it to landfill since unfortunately china and crockery cannot - at present - be recycled).
As springyzone and kopenhagen have said, I would take a photo of the broken cat bowl and let the seller know that this is how it arrived. I'd mention that the way in which it was packed was possibly not adequate to withstand the rigours of delivery - and then see if a refund is offered. If it's not offered, that would be the time to consider opening a claim.
(If you can repurpose the bowl, then perhaps a partial refund would be suitable. Your choice...)
