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)
