Hi all - sorry if this question is repetitive - I could have sworn that I saw something like this posted a few days ago, but when it actually happened to us I couldn't find it!
Our older kitten (Liev) rather aggressively grooms our younger kitten (Yuri). Yuri doesn't mind, but last night when he was cuddling with us, we noticed that all of his whiskers are stubs just on one side! After doing some reading, it seems as though Liev may have chewed/licked them off, and/or Yuri may have rubbed them off. Have any of you encountered this? Yuri seems pretty much ok, although he's a bit agitated when he runs around (aside from looking silly!) I know they will grow back eventually, but is there any way of preventing it? Is he now lopsided and should we cut the other whiskers so he's not unbalanced??
Thanks!
Stubs on one side:
Lopsided!
