Some cats don't like to put their faces in bowls. It pushes on their whiskers, which repeated daily can cause them pain or irritation. That's why they refuse to eat anything but the center of the bowl, where the pressure on their whiskers is the least

Try feeding them on a small plate or shallow bowl

(You might also see cats pawing their food onto the floor, then eating it. Same reason)

Wake up, people. Whisker fatigue is REAL.

Is it really though? My cat puts its whole head in a jar or whatever to get to a drop of water and also constantly rubs cheeks and thus whiskers against absolutely everything
