Can a cat fit through opening 2X4?

It all depends on the size of the cat and the size of the opening. The question gives no indication of the measurement units. Centimetres or inches is far too small a gap for even a tiny kitten to squeeze though. If it is metres or feet, then even the largest domestic cats will be able to fit through.

Why do cats have wiskers?

Cats have whiskers because they help them tell how wide an opening or a hole is because their whiskers are the same size as their shoulders.It works like this:The cat finds an opening/hole and does not know whether he/she can fit through it so he/she put her whiskers through the opening/hole and if her whiskers get squished up he/she knows she cannot fit through. also, with wiskers a cat can remember its way around because they will know what hole they shoved there wiskers through and then they will be able to remember that they have gone the wrong way if they come across a hole or gap that they cannot fit through because then how can they possibly have got there?
