I think it's that simple, tbh. Simpler explanation maybe - kibble nuggets can bounce. My cat will often go after them, but not always (I have to pick them up and put them back in the bowl). How far apart the bowls? Maybe 6-8 inches.Â* I do find kibble on the floor too.Â* However, there is always at least one piece in the water and never more than three. Usually it's two.Â* That just doesn't seem random to me. And three much less two kibbles is a bit much to be in its mouth to make it to the water bowl, though eat-drink-repat in one or more eating sessions might do it. (So much for the dainty eting rep...) My cat's kibbles are roundish and bounce and roll well, too well when stepped on with bare feet in the dark. I suggest setting up a camera. The kibbles my cats get are also round. Because of the suggestion, I moved the water bowl a little farther from the food dishes. They were all in a straight line. Now the water dish is a few inches away from the line. Since I've done that, I've found two pieces of kibble in the water once, one a couple of times, and there have been a couple of days when there were none at all. I suspect bouncing was the answer after all. |
