Missing Whiskers
A stray kitten - about 4 mo. old male - has appeared at
my house. This one has some missing whiskers. His whiskers on both sides are only about 1/4-1/2 inch long. Besides a mischevious child with scissors, what might cause this? Thanks in advance. -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ ***Revelation 22:12*** ICQ: 349878998 http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ |
