Penelope wants to know if any one else has as magnificent facial hair as she has?

Impressive. Reminds me of those people who win moustache competitions ! Certainly she has out-whiskered the Furry Overlord in my house.

Me but unfortunately I'm not a cat and I'm slightly upset about it

I'm slave to two cats and I don't think I have ever found a whisker!
This makes me ponder...where do they go?

Papergirl1968 · 30/10/2023 22:34

Socks and Matt. I think Socks' white whiskers are a lovely contrast to her black fur and also look more impressive because she's only a tiny thing!

Two cats/four years and that's the ones we found indoors .

If they ever enter a Most Whiskery Cat Contest they can glue the whiskers on Halloween Grin

That is a very impressive collection of whiskers.
And they’re black not white like those of the four furry posers on this thread so far. Perhaps black whiskers are more likely to drop out? Or more visible?

Papergirl1968 · 30/10/2023 23:05

Well, a quick Google tells me most cats have white whiskers and also that finding a cat whiskers is meant to be lucky so with that haul I’d be buying a lottery ticket!

Our cat has an impressive collection of white whiskers. There is something quite weirdly cool about shed whiskers too, I'm impressed by the ziploc bag!

My senior Siamese chewed one side of the whiskers on the face of the junior Siamese. She did it regularly, junior cat never had a full set. It didn’t seem to interfere with the accurate judging of narrow spaces or distances, though.

I read that mother cats do this to their favorite kitten in a litter. Senior cat never had a litter ( spayed) so she adopted her six month younger sister instead.
Oh how I miss them.

Pinkpinkpink15 · 30/10/2023 23:42

@DrCoconut she's a very gorgeous dinky wee thing!!

Pinkpinkpink15 · 30/10/2023 23:43

Plenty of whiskers, but no cat 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 31/10/2023 16:37

Most impressed with Penelope's whiskers. 🤣
Ours all have dark whiskers so they don't show up well but I offer you Karl's overgrown ear hairs.

Sometimes hard to see as they blend into his fur, but he has magnificent whiskers. Very tickly when he's in my face wanting cuddles

This is my furry boy’s whisker set - difficult to see unless the light hits them just right!

My boy cat doesn't have whiskers as his sister chews them all off. As well as his eyebrows!

LostCats · 31/10/2023 19:54

Oh my gosh @ThCats!! is he half lion? He’s amazing!!

(As are all the kitties!!)

Pudmyboy · 31/10/2023 21:39

@Toddlerteaplease Penelope certainly has an amazing set of whiskers and I truly thought there would be few rivals but turns out she has many splendid equals! Though I am strangely impressed by Karl's ear hairs @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Toddlerteaplease · 31/10/2023 21:49

There are some very impressive examples of facial/ ear hair. And I share the pain of the humans with whiskers. And highly recommend laser treatment!

I am not alone! 😻

I have the glorious whiskers of the late lamented Hadji (who crossed the rainbow bridge in 2009) on my fridge.

Dear Maddie had splendid whiskers. She was also Empress of Stinkeye.
