Oh Mike....Razz says he knows what the problem is. Eddie is trying to tell you, he wants one of those recirculating fountain things. So a trip to the pet supply store is in order, where you can pick up some tasty treats while you're there
lol....who knows why they do what they do. I've got one that will eat only in the living room or on my bed, another that prefers her bowl on her bed. Two that will drink out of the pet fountain, the others are afraid of it. I don't dare let a bowl move while they are using it though, as that spooks them all.
Hopefully switching to a different bowl will help Eddie. Good luck!
