"The food bowl is empty! IT'S EMPTYYYYYYY!!!!"
Food bowl:
Some cats don't like to put their faces in bowls. It pushes on their whiskers, which repeated daily can cause them pain or irritation. That's why they refuse to eat anything but the center of the bowl, where the pressure on their whiskers is the least
Try feeding them on a small plate or shallow bowl
(You might also see cats pawing their food onto the floor, then eating it. Same reason)
Wake up, people. Whisker fatigue is REAL.
Sounds like big cat propaganda to me.
I do a really shallow bowl and my cat leaves me alone until the kibble is completely gone. Crumbs and all.
I wish mine were the same. Mine just make more mess and still ask ffor more when the centre is empty…
Is it really though? My cat puts its whole head in a jar or whatever to get to a drop of water and also constantly rubs cheeks and thus whiskers against absolutely everything
