Amazing Cat Bodies

A cat's whiskers are not just cute — they are super-sensors! Whiskers are thick, stiff hairs connected to special nerves in a cat's face. They help the cat feel the world around it, even in the dark! A cat uses its whiskers to figure out if it can fit through a tight space. If the whiskers fit, the cat fits! Cats also have whiskers above their eyes and on their front legs. Never trim a cat's whiskers — it would be like taking away your sense of touch!
