Why does my cat drop food outside her bowl? Is she sick or just messy?

Question

Why does my cat drops her dry cat food outside her food bowl every time she eats? She eats some and drop some on the floor. Is she sick? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 4 years old

As long as she is eating and otherwise seems fine than it might just be a habit for her. I have seen other cats do the same thing. You could also have your vet examine her teeth to make sure she doesn't have a dental problem causing pain and difficulty with eating.
