May 30, 2012 · Everyone is now healthy. 4 of the 6 have the aforementioned "seal whiskers". They don't have a mother. They don't chew on each other's faces. I have not cut them. The ones with long whiskers have very fine, thin long whiskers. The one with these short "seal" whiskers have very dense rather coarse hairs that are all the same short length.

Dec 20, 2015 · That way it does not affect their sensory abilities, whiskers and lashes being very important for cats in how they navigate space and hunt. You should see the eyelashes growing back fairly soon and if there is no sign in a week or so, again I would ask the vet about it. I …

Dec 3, 2008 · A cat's whiskers are as long as their bodies. When a cat reaches a tight space that they try to get in and their whiskers touch the sides of the openening, they will not enter that space as the whiskers let them know the opening is not big enough. Your kitten's unsteadiness has nothing to do with the whiskers. It maybe because he's just young.

Therefore, a cat with robust and intact whiskers is generally a more relaxed and happier cat. Length and Age: Age can also be a factor in whisker health. Young, healthy cats will have strong, long ones, while older cats may be a bit thinner or shorter.

Apr 25, 2005 · My cat lost no whiskers (that I noticed) for the first 10-12 months of his life, then one week I found about 6. I was at my vets anyway the week after, so I asked her and she said unless a cat loses ALL his/her whiskers, its nothing. Since my cat dropped so many whiskers, he's had all new ones grow back. I wouldnt worry about 2 at all

Mar 20, 2007 · One of our kittens, Bruce, has short whiskers, only about 1cm long, because his mum chewed them off! This happened when he was between 11 and 13 weeks old, shortly before we brought Bruce and Sheila home from the breeder. The breeder said that his mum had chewed them off, and that it's not an...

Apr 10, 2013 · As long as you see healing going on then all is good. If you notice the scab getting larger, spreading or more hair loss, then take your cat to the vet for a fungal culture or skin scraping. I really hope it doesn't come to that. At this point, if it were my cat, I would begin the Colloidal Silver - 4 times per day.

Jan 11, 2006 · I groom her myself as she is way more patient with me than strangers. And you're right 2furbabies, it is very bad to cut a cat's whiskers and there is no reason to do it ever unless something drastic happens like they get into superglue or something (in which case they should be at the vet anyway).

Sep 26, 2012 · My mother brought a young male kitten home. We already have a fully grown female cat and not surprisingly, she did not like the new kitten. The kitten used to have very long, beautiful whiskers on its upper lip. This morning my mother asked me if I have trimmed the whiskers on the kitten. I...

Jan 13, 2017 · To be serious for a moment, I have another explanation. Cats can't see very well close up. When they are approaching prey, the round bumps where the whiskers grow swell up, pushing the whiskers forward. If you look at the cat and its whiskers at that point, you will see that the whiskers form a brush, straight across, in front of the cat.
