    For those who don’t know it’s very possible if your cat does this, they don’t like their whiskers touching the bowl. Try using a wider bowl or something else to fix this. One of my cats is like this so we use a cat plate for their food and we haven’t had this issue for a long time

      My old cat had the same reaction with plates as well. I think we waited too long to switch him over from bowls and he forgot why he hated seeing the bottom so much.

        I guess not “very likely” but it’s a possibility. As your articles says cats are all different and have different preferences, mine just didn’t like dunking their whiskers into the bowl or maybe it’s easier to eat off of idk. Either way they preferred the switch and don’t bug me anymore about seeing the bottom

      wide shallow bowl. she’ll eat to the bottom on the right side, then complain even though the left side is untouched. some cats are just special.
