Does your cat appear stressed and uncomfortable during mealtime? Does she pace back and forth in front of her food bowl or paw at her water rather than just drink it? She may be suffering from whisker fatigue, a condition in which her ultra-sensitive whiskers keep touching the sides of the bowl when she goes to eat or drink from it. It’s just too much sensory input for comfort.
The solution? Switch to wider, more shallow bowls. Your cat’s whiskers won’t have to keep touching the sides as she bends her head, and her emotional comfort while dining will be restored.
