  • Yes, it is normal, and yes, they will grow back. Cats shed whiskers just as they shed fur. Losing a whisker is no problem unless there is bleeeding or swelling and drainage at the site.
  • Provided there are no signs of illness, injury, or infection. If there are get your friend to the vet ASAP. Then yes, it is ok and quite normal for a cat to loose their whiskers. Even though they may be a little clumsy at times. Cats whiskers are used to help them keep their balance, sense of direction, as well as to judge how close they are to certain objects. So if your cat is missing more than a couple of whiskers and is occasionally bumping into things he never has before, don't be surprised by it. Give it a couple of weeks and you should notice the whiskers starting to regrow.
  • Whiskers are a form of hair shaft that just grows longer and stronger than the rest of the cat's fur. Losing a few is normal as cats shed these just like they shed and regrow the rest of the hairs all over their body. If you notice that the cat has a brittle coat with lots of hairs breaking easily it could signal a health problem usually malnutrition but a couple of whiskers being lost is fine and normal. Kittens playing rough with each other may have caused yours to break a couple of them.
