cats and dogs whiskers serve the same purpose that a bugs antenna do. Imagine this. Close your eyes and put four fingers on each cheek. Walk around. You don't bump your face into anything, because your fingers hit whatever you would've bumped into. This is what a cats whiskers are like. Of course, cats aren't blind,but it is just another sense of whats going on!
Yes, squirrels do have whiskers, but they are very fine.

No. Dogs, like horses, cats (and many other felines), etc., use their whiskers as receptors. I disagree with trimming horse whiskers because of this. They are natural, and are used to feel around them subtlely. - Kate

The long hairs above a cat's eyes are called "eyebrows" or "forelock." They serve to protect the cat's eyes from dust, debris, and sunlight. These hairs are also important for a cat's facial expressions and communication.

Yes, cats' whiskers do grow back after they fall out. Whiskers are specialized hairs that serve important sensory functions for cats, so they will naturally regrow if lost.
Cats generally do not enjoy having their whiskers rubbed because they are sensitive and serve as a sensory tool for the cat. Rubbing their whiskers can be uncomfortable for them.

uhh...some kind of animal that is freakishly deformed?
simple. they (like cats) have whiskers so that they can sense things when they are near. now say for example, you were to sneak up behind cat/dog. right before you would be even a foot away, they would sense you coming, and eventually turn around. Did You Know? cats have longer whiskers than dogs, so they can sense faster and better than dogs. also, cats and dogs arent the only animals with whiskers!!
Yes, cats do grow new whiskers when their old ones fall out. Whiskers are specialized hairs that serve as sensory organs for cats, helping them navigate their surroundings. When a whisker falls out, a new one will eventually grow in its place.
Dogs use their whiskers to sense their surroundings and navigate their environment. Whiskers help dogs detect changes in air currents, sense objects in the dark, and determine the size and shape of objects. They serve as a form of touch and help dogs gather information about their surroundings, enhancing their ability to explore and interact with the world around them.
Cats have whiskers.
If one cat has 16 whiskers, then seven cats would have a total of 16 whiskers multiplied by 7. This equals 112 whiskers. Therefore, seven cats will have 112 whiskers in total.
