Yes, but they grow them back. When a cat grows or if its molting, some whiskers will fall out. Do not stand on the whiskers or they'll get stuck in your foot. Pick them up if you see them and throw them away.

Cats shed their coats twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. However, domestic house cats that don't go outside may shed some hair throughout the year.
