These hairs are called whiskers, or vibrissae. Whiskers are touch receptors that send information about the cat's surroundings to its sensory nerves, providing it with a more acute sense of feeling. Without these hairs, cats may become disoriented and scared. Although they do grow back, cat whiskers should never be trimmed or removed.
