The length of your cat's whiskers depends on how big his body is. A cat's whiskers are used to tell the cat whether he can fit through a space. They are very very sensitive, so tampering with them would be very painful. Trimming the whiskers also messes with the cat's ability to navigate without running into things (they use the whiskers to sense air currents through a room and objects that are near to them.)

How did cats get whiskers?

Cats are born with their whiskers. They would probably be kind of "blind" without them. The whiskers on the side of their heads are the width of their body. The whiskers on top of their head are how tall they are. They use them to see if they can fit through spaces or not. They are essential to cats, so never try to cut your cat's whiskers. This can harm them and make it way more difficult for them to tell how big a space is. This could result in them getting stuck or even hurt.

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?
