Can anyone give me some advice about my cat my 3 year old has cut off his whiskers on one side(theres about half an inch left),will he be ok and will they grow back? thanks

ooo odd!! I'm sure they will grow back, but i'm not sure how long it takes, one of ours managed to crinkle her whiskers on one side about 6 months ago and they are still there, we call her 'crinkle cut' now :hihi: I'm wondering how long it will take for them to be replaced....

some cats loose there whiskers naturally, some pull em out. they will grow back. my cat when he was a kitten lost his whiskers & they grew back.

the only thing i would say is watch your cat, the need whiskers to judge gaps they can get through & with yours having nicley trimmed ones it may try & get through a gap thats too small & get stuck.

thanks for the advice

On a similar note, someone once told me that whiskers are for a cat to judge body width- so if their whiskers fit through a gap they will. Does this mean my fat cat will get stuck?! Or will its whiskers grow with its belly!
