Your Cat's Whiskers

Your cat’s whiskers are more than hairs that make your cat look cute. They are specialized hair that is connected to a vast network of sensory nerves. The whiskers help your cat become more conscious of her surroundings and help your cat be more aware of her body within those surroundings. They can aid in determining distance and height when jumping from place to place and keep your kitty safe. Whiskers are as wide as the space your cat can safely squeeze through, providing a guidance system that works even in the dark. Your cat’s whiskers also help your cat sense when other objects or creatures are nearby so she can react quickly. With all the sensory cues you cat receives from her whiskers, it’s essential to never trim your cat’s whiskers. Whiskers that fall out on their own will grow back naturally.
