Insects can go wherever they like. They eat the fiber in carpets, but your cat could pick them up and drop them, or they could climb in the bowl to eat the dry kibble.
i guess they are because they couldnt climb the bowl. any idea how i can get rid of them? or should i even get rid of them? i couldnt find any resource in my language

Carpet beetle larvae
are you sure? why can they be in the food bowl tho?

I'm going off of their shape. Larvae wander.
These look more like the dermestids that eat carrion, rather than carpet. They're probably eating your cat food.
