Your cat’s whiskers are more than just a cute detail on her face. They are thick, specialized hairs that are attached to highly sensitive nerves. They give your cat advanced perceptive abilities. The whiskers grow to approximately the width of your cat so she can determine whether she can safely squeeze through small spaces. If her head and whiskers fit through the space so will the rest of her body. The whiskers also help your cat judge height and distance so she can easily jump from place to place in relative safety. Your cat can pick up vibrations using her whiskers so she can determine the presence of prey such as mice and their approximate location. She can locate you and other household members especially other pets. This location system is especially valuable in the dark and adds to your cat’s hunting and location abilities.
