\"Jazmine<\/a>Considering my feline gang of seven comfortably naps nearly 18 hours a day, I\u2019m hard-pressed to believe they have fatigue of any sort, but it turns out I\u2019m wrong. Based on what I\u2019ve learned from the folks at Dr. Catsby\u2019s<\/a> \u2013 a company that makes health conscious cat feeding bowls \u2013 my cats may have varying degrees of \u201cwhisker fatigue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently their favorite activity when they’re awake \u2013 eating \u2013 might be causing them stress because the bowls I\u2019m using to feed them are not adequately\u00a0designed to accommodate for their delicate whiskers. It makes sense if you think about it \u2013 cat\u2019s whiskers are almost like another set of eyes to them. I\u2019m sure all of us can relate to a time when our cat seems instantly alerted to something we don\u2019t see. That’s because their whiskers are so sensitive they can detect even the slightest change in their surroundings.<\/p>\n

Look at Peanut – aren’t her whiskers\u00a0amazing!?<\/p><\/div>\n

I try so hard to be a good cat parent, so I must say I was quite distressed to think the bowls I\u2019m using could be hurting them. As it is, I\u00a0made a\u00a0significant change in the diet I feed them (switching\u00a0from a dry\/canned combination to a\u00a0raw\/high-quality fit for human consumption canned combination) and the dishes I use are raised off the floor to help aid with digestion.<\/p>\n

They are your basic stainless steel bowls that are shaped like a small pie tin with a lip to fit into a raised frame – and that\u2019s the problem \u2013 when they eat, their whiskers could be forced into close contact with the sides of the bowl, possibly causing them discomfort.<\/p>\n

Angry Whiskers… Angry Bird…\u00a0Looks like I need to replace those bowls\u00a0and get Dr. Catsby’s for my gang.<\/p><\/div>\n

So perhaps when we think our cat is being fussy, irritable, or messy about eating, maybe he really isn\u2019t. Maybe it\u2019s actually the bowl that’s causing problems.<\/em> Here are some of the symptoms of Whisker Fatigue:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

~<\/strong><\/span>Leaving food in the bowl, but is still hungry.<\/p>\n

~<\/strong><\/span>Pulling food out of the bowl with their mouth or paw to eat off the floor.<\/p>\n

~<\/strong><\/span>Leaving a mess on the floor.<\/p>\n

~<\/strong><\/span>Only eating from the center of the bowl.<\/p>\n

~<\/strong><\/span>Acting aggressive toward other animals in the house during mealtime.<\/p>\n

~<\/strong><\/span>Standing by the bowl before eating for a period of time, pacing around the bowl, or being hesitant to eat, though hungry.<\/p>\n

Yes, I do admit my cats have exhibited some of these signs at one point or another. The leaving a mess on the floor and leaving food in the bowl has been 100% eliminated with the new diet, but every single night I have do have to constantly scrape the food from their bowls and push it into\u00a0the center for easier access.<\/p>\n

The great news<\/strong><\/span> for concerned cat parents like me is that the devoted team at Dr. Catsby\u2019s has designed an ergonomically shaped bowl that ensures your cat\u2019s whiskers will never have to feel pain again while eating!<\/em><\/span> Not only do I know it from the pawsome video they made, I know it\u00a0because one\u00a0was sent for my gang to test out and I\u2019m not kidding you, this bowl is 5-paws up, the cat\u2019s meow!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
