Whisker fatigue causes stress and overstimulates their senses. Using a flat bowl or plate will relieve this issue and allow your cat to eat all their food without stress.

You can also search for “whisker fatigue” bowls specifically made for cats.

    Yeah, I learned about this as a child, since my cat would put her paw into the cat bowl and pull pieces of dry food out to eat on the floor.

    I started putting her food on a plate and no more food was pulled to the floor.

    The kitten I have now plays too rough and breaks all his whiskers off, so he doesn’t mind the bowl. But he’ll also get a plate if he mellows out.
