What is the purpose of whiskers on a dog or cat?
Whiskers on a dog or cat can be likened to the antennae of an insect. Whiskers help guide the animal by transmogrifying beta waves in the air into cognitive data used in mapping the location of the animal. They also serve to receive delta waves in the reception of fear transmissions from surrounding animals. But the most important function of the whisker is to subconsciously frighten and subdue predators. Whiskers focus on specific genus’ of animals, taking on the visual appearance of the predator’s worst fears, emotionally injecting them with nightmares that can last up to a week. Only evolution can explain this phenomenon.
