CATDOLL : What are the important functions of a cat's whiskers?

The purpose of cat whiskers:

1. Can judge the width of the passage. The cat's whiskers can help the cat judge the width of the passage. The cat's whiskers grow next to the mouth, and the width of the cat's whiskers is the same as the width of the body.

2. Determine the location of the target object. A cat's whiskers have a strong sense of touch, so they can sense changes in the surrounding airflow and the humidity of the air. Once the whiskers touch something, the cat can know the approximate structure of the surrounding area, so it is easy for the cat to approach the target object.

3. Mood signal. A cat's whiskers are also an important sign of its mood. For example, if a cat's whiskers hang loosely on both sides, looking very relaxed, then the cat must be in a very good mood. If a cat is angry or frightened by something, then its whiskers will stick to its face.

Notes on cat whiskers:

1. Cats don't like things sticking to their whiskers. So when bathing, try to choose a larger basin to avoid getting water on the cat's whiskers.

2. Never trim a cat's whiskers. It is normal for a cat's whiskers to fall off naturally. If you cut off a cat's whiskers, it will have some impact on the cat's normal life.

3. Repeatedly cutting a cat's whiskers will have a considerable psychological impact on the cat's heart.
