∙ 14y agoI have one VERY fat cat. and her wiskers are very long. I am not a vet, but I have 3 cats and I find that each cats wiskers are about as wide as they are. And I have been told that a cat judges if it can get thru an area by the brush of it's wiskers. if this is true. Then I would say yes a cat's wiskers would grow to the width of your cat.

∙ 14y agoWell, they must, because I have two cats, and I find a stray whisker lying around the house once or twice a year. And I know for every one I find, there's got to be 5 I didn't. If the whiskers didn't grow back, after a number of years, the cat wouldn't have any left.
