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 think that’s it as well. My cat has never had to worry about not having any food available, but will act like she’s dying of hunger the second her bowl is less than half full. To get her to eat the last half all I have to do is put shake the box next to the bowl.
