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.
