Dr. Catsby has launched an innovative bowl for cats, designed to prevent whisker fatigue by using a low and shallow configuration that provides easy access to food without pulling back the cat’s whiskers and causing discomfort. The stainless steel finish is bacteria-resistant and easy to clean.
I’m fairly knowledgeable when it comes to all things cats, but when I first heard about ‘whisker fatigue’ I thought it was just another clever marketing gimmick to help drive sales of designer cat food bowls. I’ve since realized there’s more to it than that.
Whilst a cat’s whiskers are essentially just thick, long hairs that protrude from the sides of their face what makes them special and ultra-sensitive is the fact there is a sensory organ called a proprioceptor at the end of each whisker, which sends messages to the cat’s brain and nervous system.
