wrote: do cat whiskers grow? Like all hairs, they grow and are shed when too old. The observation that kittens are not born with adult whiskers indicates that they grow, and finding them along with other cat hair in the bedding and other places indicates they are shed.

In article ,
enlightened us with... do cat whiskers grow? Unless they've been permanently damaged, like in a fire, yes. A cat uses its whiskers for several things, including getting around in the dark. Don't ever cut or trim them. ------------------------------------------------- ~kaeli~ All I ask for is the chance to prove that money cannot make me happy. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace ------------------------------------------------- |
