Default Whisker Weirdness



Stinky has respectable, not spectacular, whiskers. When little Mimi
was with me, she had quite astonishingly, comically long whiskers.
She was quite a sight with them bristling out in all directions from
her little face; in fact in her later days, they gave her a somewhat
deranged appearance.

But the *really* interesting thing was, in those days, Stinky had very
short whiskers indeed. Until one day after Mimi went to RB, and I
noticed that Stinky suddenly had normally long whiskers. Mimi had
been keeping his whiskers trimmed. Nobody was allowed to have longer
whiskers than she had.

ROTFLMAO!! Whisker envy!!!

I don't know if it's true, or just an old wives tale, but I've heard that a
cat's whiskers are as wide as a cat's body and that they use their whiskers
to judge whether or not they can fit through an opening. Anbody else heard
that? Is it true???

Hugs,

Sort of like Phyllis Diller?

Reminds me of how Lucille Ball put it in her contract that her female
co-star in I Love Lucy had to be 20 pounds heavier than she was. Was Mimi
a bit vain, perhaps?

Joyce, for some reason being reminded of 1950s television
