    cats don’t like when their whiskers touch things. it triggers their senses of ‘tight space, might not fit’

    try using a plate instead of a bowl and they will be less likely to meow/pester you when they get to the ‘bottom’

      Whisker fatigue - brushing the side of the bowl hurts their whiskers over time

        My cat’s whiskers were breaking short and when I noticed I switched to a shallow bowl designed for cats. It immediately helped. Cats Ike plates and shallow bowls over tight spaces.

        I think this is closer to the truth, because she’ll still happily get herself stuck in a cardboard tube.

      I don’t actually have a cat (two dogs, though), I’m a fraud! But this is great advice!

    Shaking the bowl sometimes helps them reach those, otherwise it’s standard behavior in cats to leave some leftover from their food.
