No, whiskers simply help them feel things, I think. Kind of like a bug. Did you know that house flies have hairs on their eyes?

No, a cat's whiskers are important. They help with navigation, but their primary use is to help a cat judge whether or not he'll fit through an opening. They can also be a good mood indicator. Whiskers are extremely sensitive as they are closely connected to the nervous system. Any damage to the whiskers will cause your cat discomfort, and he or she may become agitated, confused or disoriented. For sources, see Related Links below.

What do cats whiskersdo to cats?

Whiskers, also known as "tactile hairs" or vibrissae, whiskers are the long, thick, flexible hairs ­on a cat's face and eyebrows. Whiskers are rooted very deep in the cat's face, in an area rich in nerves and blood vessels.Whiskers help the cat feel his way around. Whiskers are so sensitive that they can detect the slightest directional change in a breeze. At night, for example, this helps a cat slink its way through a room and not bump into anything. How? The air currents in the room change depending on where pieces of furniture are located. As the cat walks through the room and approaches the couch, he'll know which direction to turn based on the change in air current around the couch.In addition to having sensory properties, a cat's whiskers are also a good indicator of his mood. When a cat is angry or feels defensive, the whiskers will be pulled back. Otherwise, when the cat is happy, curious or content, the whiskers will be more relaxed and pushed forward.But the whisker's primary use is to help a cat judge whether or not he'll fit through an opening. A cat's whiskers are roughly as wide as his body -- sort of a natural ruler. The whisker tips are sensitive to pressure. You'll probably see a cat stick his head in and out of an opening before he puts his body in. He's judging the width of the opening, and is determining if he can fit into it. An interesting note: cats don't have a true collar bone, like humans. This allows them to turn and twist their way through very narrow openings.Peace and Love!
