If the whisker was cut, yes it will grow back. Sometimes if a whisker is burned it will not grow back.

Whiskers are hair shafts, just like the rest of a cat's fur. Like every single hair on a cat's body they will periodically shed and then regrow.

So yes their whiskers grow back. :)

NO! THEY DO NOT GROW BACK! Just kidding. They do grow... :)
yes they do

Yes, my cats whiskers have been shedding like crazy, and if you look close, you can see little tiny whiskers growing in the bald spot.

What are the hairs that stick out from cats faces?

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.

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.
