If I cut off my cat's whiskers, will she lose her balance?
Don't EVEN think about it. If you want to trim something cut your own hair.
Also known as "tactile hairs" or vibrissae, whiskers are the long, thick, flexible hairs on a cat's face. These hairs are located in horizontal rows on the whisker pad, the puffy area between the top corners of your cat's mouth and the outer edges of his nose. Whiskers, like hair and nails, do fall out and are replaced.
In addition to having the long tactile hairs on their cheeks, cats also have shorter ones above their eyebrows, on their chin and on the back of their front legs. Whiskers are necessary and useful for navigation, mood indication and measuring an opening, (to name a few).....
