"Whisker fatigue" is a real thing. Whiskers have an incredible number of nerve receptors in them and they are particularly sensitive at the tips, where each has a sensory organ called a proprioceptor. When the proprioceptors touch an object, vibrations travel down the whiskers to follicles that are rooted in the nerve-rich areas of your cat's face. When whiskers touch too many things in the course of a day it can cause sensory overload. When the whiskers touch the sides of bowls when kitty eats and drinks it can be causing whisker fatigue, pain and stress - which can lead to behavioral issues.
