  1. Why Do Cats Have Whiskers? All cats have whiskers. They’re a small part of the feline anatomy that make a big difference in your pet’s daily life. Below, your vet clinic Leesburg, VA tells you more about Fluffy’s whiskers and why they’re so important. What Whiskers Do Whiskers are extremely sensitive organs because of the cluster of nerves at the base of each one. Your cat uses the whiskers to determine the size, shape, texture, and placement of objects in her environment, and whiskers can also sense changes in air currents. This sensory information is coupled with other senses like eyesight and touch to paint a picture of your cat’s world. Mood Indicator When Fluffy keeps her whiskers flattened across her cheeks, she’s probably alarmed or frightened. Normally, they’ll stick straight out from the face when your pet is relaxed. Try using the whiskers to gauge your pet’s mood! To Trim or Not to Trim? Never trim your cat’s whiskers. It would be like removing an entire sense with one snip! It could make your cat dizzy, disoriented, and even sick. Does your cat need veterinary attention? Want to know more about whiskers or other parts of your cat’s body? Contact your vets Leesburg, VA.
