I have a question about a cat's whiskers?

Question

I was looking at my cat who is 3 years old and I noticed that some of his whiskers are shorter than the others. I have noticed this before every so often. do cat's loose their whiskers and have more grow back in? next time I'm at the vet I'll ask them but I was wondering if anyone else can tell me about this and if this is something I should be more concerned about than what I am I'll be sure to make an appointment at the vet ASAP.

He is fed blue spa adult food so it is a good quality food.

Answer 1

Yes this is normal. Never cut your cat's whiskers. Cats do loose whiskers like you loose your baby teeth. It grows back.

Answer 2

yes they loose their whiskers ,the same as they shed their fur,and loose their dead claw nail.

Answer 3

Cats shed their whiskers and they do grow back so do not worry about your kitty.  He is fine and is just like all other kitties.

Answer 4

Yes, your kitty sheds his whiskers...I find my Xan-man's whiskers everywhere and somehow he still has a full face of them.

You don't really need to see your vet about this, unless kitty loses all of them and they don't grow back in.
