What colour are your cat's whiskers?

[basildonbond]

I've just noticed that dcat1's whiskers have gone white .. The bit nearest the roots is still black but the colour's gone from the rest

She's 14 so I suppose it's a sign of ageing

[addictedtosugar]

white. Always have been

[bonzo77]

White. Always have been. She's a tuxedo cat though and her eyebrow whiskers are black.

Moggy, 4 yo. White whiskers - always have been.

[WhoNickedMyName]

white. he's 6 years old and they always have been.

[WhoNickedMyName]

although I've just noticed that 2 eyebrow whiskers on each eye are black

[Fluffycloudland77]

white.

[Pipbin]

Black cat with black whiskers.

[Archfarchnad]

Hmm, have just inspected Archcat closely which disturbed the poor lad immensely and he seems to have three or four hairs on each side with a black root of about 1 cm, then white. All the rest of the hairs are only white. He's a brown/grey tabby, but all his normal body fur is black underneath, even on the light patches. 3 years old, so not due to age.

Grey cat, grey whiskers.

[SecretNutellaFix]

Tuxedo cats (twins) both have always had white whiskers.

[RubbishMantra]

MCat, a tuxedo, has long white whiskers. If I find them shed around the house, I save them in a box.

Little Monsieur, who's a Devon Rex, doesn't really have whiskers. Because they're curly and brittle, they snap off. Looks like designer stubble. Which is white.

Old mog, somewhere around 16 / 17, (rescue) - black to match coat with one jaunty white one....

[sparkysparkysparky]

White. She was a tortie tabby. But every so often a black upturned one would appear. Like Hercule Poirot.

[basildonbond]

so not age-related then ... Why've they changed colour - should I be worried?

[6cats3gingerkittens]

Two tone. Black at the root end, white at the tip. Previously all black.
The tortie girl has some white, some ginger an a few black whiskers. She is vvv pretty and has delightful spotty paws.

[6cats3gingerkittens]

Rubbish, l save found whiskers too. I now have enough for a decent shaving brush but it has taken over 50 years.??.

[Lonecatwithkitten]

The posh arrogant boy has tone whiskers in the colours of his points. The tail less wonders whiskers are all black apart from one which is white.

[Mitzimaybe]

I had an all-black cat, with black whiskers (for most of her life.) Then one grew white. For a few years she had just one white, the rest black. As she got old, more and more came through white, along with a sprinkling of white in her general fur. I'm sure it's just an age thing.

[chockbic]

Mostly white, except for two, which start off black, then go white.
