  1. Why Do Cats Have Whiskers? No matter what kind of cat you have, they have whiskers sprouting from their face. It’s part of being a cat! What do whiskers do, though? Your veterinarian London, ON fills you in below. What Whiskers Do Because of the nerve cluster at the base of each of your cat’s whiskers, they’re very powerful sensory organs for your pet. They help your cat determine the location, size, and texture of objects and surfaces around her, and they can even detect changes in air currents. Your cat uses this kind of “sixth sense” to paint an accurate picture of the world that surrounds her. Mood Indication Did you know that your cat’s whisker position can be an indicator of her mood? The “normal” position means that your cat’s whiskers are sticking straight out from her face, and it indicates that your cat is feeling calm. If the whiskers are pulled back sharply across the cheeks, though, Fluffy is alarmed! Trimming Whiskers: A Big No-No Never trim your cat’s whiskers. It would be like taking away one of your senses, and it could make your cat extremely disoriented. For more information, call your animal hospital London, ON. We’re always here to help!
