Why won't my cat eat kibble from his bowl but eats it off the floor?

Question

Hi. Why does my cat no longer want to eat from his bowl? Suddenly, my cat no longer wants to eat from his bowl, which is clean. (I even rewashed it.) He'll eat the kibble if I put it directly on the floor. He was sneezing a little several days ago (he no longer is), and his appetite shrank. He's eating more now, but I don't understand the bowl quirk. This never happened before. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 10 years and 11 months old | 15.87 lbs

This is one of those things we may never be able to answer. I suggest you just get a different type of bowl and see if he likes that. I would recommend a low, flat, shallow bowl (kind of like a tray). Some cats develop an aversion to their whiskers touching the sides of a deeper "normal" bowl.
