Signs that something more concerning going on than whisker fatigue include: While whisker fatigue is not a serious condition, disease or ailment, it should still be dealt with just to make sure that your cat is comfortable.

Are Your Cats Showing Signs of Whisker Fatigue?

Even though it has a large overall capacity, I had to put the CatGuru bowl in the runner-up spot simply because it doesn’t come in a stainless steel option.

One of the biggest complaints people have with whisker relief bowls is that they just don’t hold very much. While that’s not the purpose of these bowls, it is just part of having a wide and shallow design. Surprisingly, no. Whisker fatigue is a condition that many vets don’t agree on. The reason being: some vets believe that this overstimulation is not a problem for cats or that they don’t mind when it happens. There are many different materials that cat bowls are made from, including plastic, steel, ceramics, or other materials. The “other materials” category has much variation, but as long as they are safe for cats and non-toxic, they will be fine to use. But bowls also need to be wide enough on the sides so that there’s plenty of room for whiskers to wiggle around. A: Whisker fatigue is a common reason why cats only eat from the middle of their bowls. When they go to the edges to eat, their whiskers will touch the side of the bowl which can cause stress and anxiety. However, when eating from the middle, they can likely do so without their whiskers touching. Q: How do you stop whisker fatigue?Not only should you consider your cat’s comfort when choosing a cat bowl but think about the eating experience. Wouldn’t you find it maddening if your plate kept sliding across the table as you tried to eat? That’s the benefit of choosing a cat bowl with a non-slip bottom.

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. Keep Bowls Clean: Regularly clean your cat’s food and water bowls to remove any food debris or residue that may irritate their whiskers. The bowl is also non-slip thanks to the silicone legs on the base, preventing spills from the bowl being nudged around the room, while simultaneously protecting your floor. Without these necessary receptors, your cat misses out on vital information which can lead to an influx in stress. As you know, stress is terrible for humans, let alone a feline who can’t tell you that they are stressed out.
