- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I can’t describe this well, but this happens because the cat doesn’t like eating in a way that pushes its whiskers against the bowl’s sides. Those are very sensitive nerves, so pushing its head into a metal space can hurt. so it’s basically only scraping the top. The problem is alleviated by using a shallower, flatter bowl.
I never bought that argument. They squeeze their bodies through holes that only their face just fits into regularly. That would also hurt but they do it.
Probably because the whiskers just slide in that case (I think they also fold it to the side of their face) instead of it constantly hitting the bowl while they eat
Maybe. Doesn’t explain why I can shake their bowls and they go, “oh it’s full again!” and start eating. 🤷🏼♂️
maybe cause shaking redistributes the kibble to the center, raising it some. Or because you've tricked them into thinking you did something about the issue, then they just push through it.
