Whiskers are dense with nerve endings. The constant contact is genuinely unpleasant — the informal name for it is whisker fatigue — and cats respond by bolting their food, pawing it onto the floor, or walking away from a full bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide, shallow bowl removes the problem entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy stainless steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic is soft. A cat's tongue is rough and the rim gets scratched within months, and those scratches hold food residue and bacteria — which is where feline chin acne often comes from.
