YSK: Cats don't like their whiskers touching their food bowl. This is why they beg even if food is still left at the bottom. - eviltoast

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.

    I put it in a very shallow dish and then put that dish inside a shallow (and heavy) old baking tray.

    The lip of the tray catches the kibble from falling outside of it and the heaviness makes it hard for her to move it.

    And now I don’t feel bad about getting new, lighter pans because the old one is still getting used.
