Cat whiskers are cute, but they're also essential to the wellbeing of your furry friend. Learn what they can do for cats and what you shouldn't do with them.If you were to draw a simple kitty on a piece of paper, maybe you would include three lines on each side of the cat’s face to signify whiskers. In reality, our feline friends typically have about 12 on each side of the face . Cats can also have shorter whiskers on their eyebrows and the back of their wrists.
“They’re still very, very useful for cats even if their primary job in their current home is to lounge around, look pretty, and be catered to,” Lilly says. Our furry feline friends use them when playing with objects, grooming, feeling where other cats are and interacting with them.Not only that, but they can also help cats figure out if they want to pick through something, or if they can fit through a very small space.
According to Lilly, if the whiskers are more horizontal, this might indicate our feline friend is more relaxed.
