I've actually never seen that happen and I've owned cats since I was like 5. Are you sure it's natural?
----
I just want to say that I've seen this happen a couple of times. I have 8 cats.
First you need to locate a whisker(easier if you have a lot of cats). Present it to a cat's nose. Usually it will eat it with much interest almost immediately. It doesn't matter if the whisker is its own or from another cat.
Some cats, however, do not show much interest. In my family only the three biggest eaters show a keen interest in snacking on whiskers.
If the whisker is more than a day old(I sometimes collect the whiskers to admire them for awhile, don't ask my why:D ), they don't show the same interest, so I guess fresh is best?
I deduce that the whiskers are coated with some kind of oil(it feels slightly oily or maybe it's from the food they eat) and taste good to some cats OR the whisker is implanted in a follicle that has a lovely parfum de chat that some cats love. Just my theory.

you must have a disfuctional cat because i have a cat and sometimes i find his whiskers on the floor and i let him sniff it and he has never ate it
*** This is funny but I have to say my cat starla ate one of her whiskers just recently that had fallen out on the floor. I've never seen her do that before but I'm sure she probably has. I think maybe they do this because they are prone to chew on anything that is like string, wire etc. But then again I guess really only cats know why they do crazy things like this. :) ***
