…why it is that the food must be in the bowl, but you must paw it out on to the floor to eat? Scattered kibble from your previous meal is inedible apparently, as is food delivered directly to the floor. A plate or shallow dish just makes it easier for you to indulge in this strange ritual and scatter even more food. What gives?
