What's in her kitty brain that "her" side had to be refilled instead of eating the kibble that was already in the dish?

Ed says,

It has to do with thumbs, GPS and freshness!

First of all cats have internal GPS units that lead them to food. so we home in on exact coordinates! We also have no thumbs to turn the bowl around-our dexterity is kinda hampered by that fact. And we get to the freshness issue- I have looked for the expiration date on my bowl and cannot find one.
Why take a chance?

I hope this helps you understand the Feline Nation.
