Here is a cat fact. Chip the Manx is cute and adorable internet celebrity cat. He and his fellow video pets are like a pantheon of animal stars. 🤩

[@Thawhid]

Oh

[@Vergil2122]

Don't ever cut off a cat's whiskers.

[@danielwozniak8411]

Sadly our eldest 2 have nearly no whiskers. They are biological siblings and trim each others.

[@meemeexdyt320]

Uh yes that’s like cutting off our hands 😭😢

[@user-wb1vm9ex4k]

I did it once when I was a child and thought they needed to be cut 😩😩😩. Luckily they quickly grew back and the cat was completely fine

[@VinnyUnion]

Or a cockatiel's crest turning them into regular budgies.

[@thanetworknerd]

Nothing happens if you cut cat whiskers, the worst that can happen is they’ll probably have a harder time navigating their environment.

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

There's another cat fact about their whiskers. It helps them determine how small a space they can fit their body into.

[@philognosis6409]

They also need them as they are farsighted.

[@navinstrument8353]

Oh i didn't know they're farsighted

[@minhducnguyen9276]

Probably the most important purpose. Cats can see their preys from a far. But they need the whiskers so they know when the meals are in front of their mouth or they won't know when to chomp on the targets.

[@Riftsrunner]

​@@minhducnguyen9276 Saw a beautiful slow motion video of a cat using their whiskers in just this situation. It was fascinating watching them shift forward just as they went for the bite.

[@Dingbobber]

No they are not, somebody on KZbin just made that up and acted like it was real

[@MrStaybrown]

At night, they feel walls and furniture like curb feelers. If you trim them, they could run into objects in total darkness.

[@TheIndoraptor]

I convinced that cat whiskers are just highly sensitive face fingers

[@elijahsmall5873]

They kind of are

[@sqprr]

Yup. Watching a slow motion video of a cat chasing a critter or toy is awesome because the whiskers will track the prey before their body does. I love how different it makes their faces look when they are held forward in high alert versus back and relaxed.

[@SoldierBoii47]

It’s to make them so much more adorable 🥺

[@theconfederacyofindependen7268]

The whiskers have a scientific name "Vibrissae"

I just remember when my brother was going through his scissors phase. He cut the whiskers off our Siamese cat.. she hugged the walls like she was drunk for weeks as they grew slowly back, and my brother got no toys or lollies for the same amount of time. It was a little bit funny to watch but we did have to help her a lot..

[@timmi59]

I did that too when I was little. My Moms was none too happy. The kitty got through that time ok and even now all these years later I feel bad when I think about it.

[@sherryhannah9262]

Adrian Price your brother oughta have been put up for adoption bad boy he was in the cat care book The Morris Method written by Morris the 9 Lives cat 🐈 with help from his trainer Bob Martwick, Bob said NEVER cut a cat’s whiskers….I hope you will reply to this

[@apricebcd]

@@sherryhannah9262 To the the truth my brother was a terror with Scissors. He not once but twice cut his own hair. The trouble was that he did it just after a haircut the night before school photos. Cue lots of frantic creative attempts to cover the bald spots by mum the next day. But he never ventured near the cat again

[@creengetv2418]

[@meemeexdyt320]

Whisker also help cats know if they can go through a narrow space! Their whiskers are also as long as their body, so if their whiskers fit, they can too!

also.. if it fits it sits

For those who's saying dont cut your cat whiskers. You can. Just not all. As long as enough is left for it to use its fine and it regrows quick enough anyway

[@gengar8118]

Probably didn’t actually bother the cat too much. there’s no sensation in the hairs themselves, the cat feels with them through the skin their anchored in. Unless you bit them off it probably just felt like a little tug.

[@linksbetweendrinks7032]

Cats have gigantic friggin eyeballs, in terms of relativity to their skulls. Slitted eyeballs, too! These combined factors make cats super farsighted, so their whiskers make up the difference!
