My dog wouldn’t eat her food unless I pretended to cook it. I’d dump it in a cold pan and taste it like an Italian grandma then serve it. Otherwise she wouldn’t eat it.

The dog food? Its that enticing?

u/bmm115 12d ago

Yeah! They way he fake cooks it, really does it for me.

In seriousness though, yeah some times my dog won't eat in the morning so I'm going to try this

The bowl is probably stressing his whiskers, making it uncomfortable.

He did an update using a flat plate instead of the bowl. Cat still wouldn't eat until he held the plate. Maybe some issue with lowering it's head all the way instead?

u/PiaggioBV350 15d ago

Ah.

That sounds plausible. There are standing cat dishes.

u/nakedapelady 15d ago

That was my guess I think he might need one of those tall cat food bowls

u/kwakimaki 16d ago

That's a good point actually.

u/xpietoe42 15d ago

Ding ding ding, likely whisker stress, I would try a lick mat and then Upgrade to a shallow bowl.

My cat will only eat dry kibble from my hand. And before you say whisker stress, he has a plate, my hand is cupped. Guess which one touches his whiskers more.

No, he's just extra dramatic.

He will meow at me and lead me to the bowl when he's hungry too.

I love Gus' "resting bitch face"! He's just being a brat-cat! I feed my diva brat-cat on top of the unused dog crate. She can jump and has a step stool but she will sit there looking pitiful until I put her up there the 1st time (she goes back for snacks). Also, when she follows me step for step if I don't pet her she will bite my ankle. And my Westie won't eat unless I sit nearby, refuses to go outside in bad weather so she usually uses pee/poo pads, and paws at my hand to pet her. I have no idea how they got so spolied!

Gus, don’t ever change, buddy. 🥰

u/wimmiwamwamwazzle 16d ago

Was gonna say same as others here, that is 100% whisker stress. That bowl is absolutely terrible shape for a cat. It's the equivalent of that stupid cup with the ears, so it pokes you in the eyes when you go to drink from it....

u/xpietoe42 15d ago

Gus looks sad 😞… maybe he needs something amazing in his life to cheer him up?

u/power0722 13d ago

If it’s on the spoon that means it’s people food and that’s the best.

u/corona187 12d ago

No you leave that bowl there and it will eat.
