Ours also pulls out her food kibble by kibble. We have to keep an empty plate next to her food dish so she can eat that. Her food bowl and "eating-helper" dish are both on the top of the cat carrier. (It's a really large carrier, actually meant for dogs, because she's very claustrophobic.) Inside the carrier is the water bowl. We used to have the water bowl next to the food bowl, but she'd just drop all the food into the water bowl and it would get soggy. A lovable cat, but not very bright...
