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!
You sit on a throne of lies
my dog does this too lol
edit: she does think she's a cat so it checks out
Don't we all think that...
Hmm, I do like knocking things over and am indifferent to most people. HOLY SHIT, I'M A CAT!
we wash our orange's bowl when he's filled it with crumbs. takes about a week. he doesn't like crumbs, the spoiled SOB
