I… actually always thought that my cat didn’t like stale food, and that the stuff on the bottom of the bowl had just been breathed on with hot, wet cat breath enough times that he thought it was disgusting.
I’m going to try a wider bowl and see how that goes.
That’s a thing too. Dry food in bags has more odor than food that’s been sitting out for a while. The fats in food left out in the open air will eventually go rancid too, but that takes a long time and shouldn’t happen if you’re cleaning the bowls periodically.
