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?
