What is the Purpose of Cat Whiskers?
Whiskers serve an extremely important role in the life of a cat. Under no circumstances should they be trimmed or removed otherwise the health of your feline friend may be in jeopardy. Evolution has afforded them a unique and interesting way to navigate as a nocturnal predator. Whiskers, also referred to as tactile hairs or vibrissae, are most noticeable on the cat’s upper lip and eyebrow region.
