The Dr. Catsby Cat Food Bowl is a shallow, stainless steel cat bowl that should avoid hitting any cat’s whiskers. Not only that, but the fact that it is made out of stainless steel means that this bowl is going to be the most hygienic out of any plastics or even ceramics. Your cat uses its “facial antennae” to explore the environment, but your cat can’t shut out the information that is irrelevant to it. Your cat will feel and experience stimulation from everyday mundane surroundings, such as its food and water dishes.

It shouldn’t be any surprise to see another Dr. Catsby brand bowl at the top of our list. But instead of a runner-up, they’ve taken the top spot when it comes to water bowls.After considering essential factors like materials, shape, and size, you may want to take additional factors into consideration. If your cat is getting up in years and suffers from arthritis, a slightly raised cat bowl may be more comfortable for him. On top of these factors, you may also wish to consider the aesthetics of the bowl and whether it will look the part in your home. Cost is again a key consideration and depends entirely on your budget. For this reason, I have reviewed a range of cat bowls for whisker fatigue to suit all budgets and preferences. 1. Cat Bowls Cat Food Stress Relief Feeder (Best All-Rounder) Ceramic bowls are often heavy enough by themselves for this to not be a problem. In fact, for your cat to move a ceramic bowl around the room or tip it over entirely would be quite hard work. For bowls made from other materials though, look for a rubber or silicone base. Rubber and silicone bases are also great for protecting your floor from scratches if your cat does drag their bowl around, another reason to look out for bowls with this feature. What is Whisker Fatigue?

Have you ever dished up a bowl of the best dry cat food only to have your kitty refuse to eat it? Are you constantly finding chunks of the best wet cat food all over the floor? You might be tempted to think your cat is deliberately trying to annoy you, but a lot of the time, what looks like bad behavior, is actually the result of whisker fatigue.

Conclusion

Cats that experience whisker fatigue or whisker stress may show it by not settling down in front of its food bowl, eating only out of the center of the bowl, trying to get the food out of the bowl or tipping it over to eat off the floor. These cats may also become aggressive toward other pets around food. A Simple Solution On the other hand, it's widely recognized that cats do suffer from stress, so much so that the slightest change in routine or environment can affect them. For some cats, something as mundane as a new washing machine or the building work three houses away can cause them to pull their hair out in clumps or start passing urine on the bathroom floor. So, if cats can be so badly affected by stress, it’s certainly plausible that an overload of information from their whiskers could cause so-called whisker stress. This matching set of two also has a lot more style than we’ve seen for far and instead of plain stainless steel we’ve got matching colorful cat-shaped designs. The ridges are a little higher than you’d typically see in a whisker relief bowl but they’re still low enough to be comfortable for most cats. Shape & Size: To make a cat bowl whisker-friendly, it needs to be both wide and shallow. This shape of bowl allows room for your cat’s whiskers so that they don’t touch the edge of the bowl when they are eating or drinking. Therefore, this is key in the bowl being a success.
