Show me some whiskers! Cheek whiskers, eyebrow whiskers, the little whiskers on the backs of their front legs. Whiskers that are very l o o o n g and silly little stubby whiskers. White whiskers, black whiskers, those whiskers that are half and half. Does your kitty have all white whiskers except for one black one or vice versa? Has your idiot child ever learned a whisker-related lesson about candles? Do you collect whiskers when they shed? (Lemme see your collection!)

    I have a collection of whiskers from a number of cats we’ve had.

    I REALLY want a black one from my brother’s orange kitty, but he hasn’t shed one that I’ve found yet :(

    this is such a funny photo of them by the way lmao

    Tweek’s long white whiskers

    Luscious whiskers compliments of a wood burning stove free house. They used to all be short and curly :)

        I know right?? Whenever he’s in a really deep sleep he nurses like that and it makes me wanna cry. First of all because it’s just objectively cute. But also because he was taken from his mom at only 2 weeks old, so I think he’s dreaming of her 😭

    Alaric’s whiskers are as pitch-black as the rest of him is, so they do not show up well in photos unless they happen to catch the sunlight or have a light background behind them. He was already an older boy when I adopted him, so I think if he ever did learn anything the hard way he did it long ago. Candles are just about the one thing he doesn’t sniff to investigate, fortunately. I think the worst experience he has given himself with his whiskers since I got him was the time that he woke me up because his whiskers tickled my nose. I wound up sneezing directly in the poor guy’s face

    I have never thought to collect shed whiskers before. What do you do with them?

    My little girl has a weird whisker that grows out of the side of her nose (my sister has a matching one but I won’t post that).

    Here are some bonus keyboard whiskers

    We do collect but unfortunately am away from home and don’t have any photos.
