I had a little kitten, Brows, with white fur that looked like eyebrows(Hense the name Brows), but other than the little whisker-type things above their eyes, I haven't seen much

Cute! Holland has the opposite - she has the kinda bald patches above her eyes that a lot of black cats have. I never knew it was normal until I researched and found that it is to trick predators into thinking the bald spots are the cat's "eyes" when they are sleeping. After I read that, I realized that she really does look she has a second set of eyes when she's asleep! Pictures are weird though, sometimes she looks totally bald over the eyes and sometimes you can't tell at all. Weird.

I get the impression sometimes that Speck has eyebrows. He wrinkles his forehead and that's when the eyebrows stand out.

From a distance it totally looks like he has eye brows, but in fact when you look at him very close it is more of an over hang (cant explain it)

All of my cats have clearly visible eye brows. I thought all cats have them (except sphynx or other hairless breeds).

hmmm maybe they all do I never really looked that close, I guess Scooter's are so defined and easy to see thats why I thought he was the only one. Right now all my kids are asleep but when they wake I am gonna check all of them for eye brows! lol

I used to think Jennie had only one set of brow whiskers, over her left eye.

However I recently discovered she has them over the right eye too, but they are black, so not easily visible!

I love discovering something new about a kitty who has been living with me for almost three years!

Are you referring to eye brow whiskers or cats that look like they have definite brow lines?

I have a few that have the latter. I'm not sure why some cats have more pronounced brows but it makes these cats have more expressive faces. One of them is Tomas, he has a lot of facial expressions. You can tell when he's annoyed/upset because it looks like he's frowning (brow line draws down). He also has a very noticeable pouting face.
MewMew's my other kitty with a strong brow line that can make some crazy faces.

Speck also looks like he is wearing eye liner (think Cleopatra). I don't know what's up with that, unless he just thinks it looks nice. (It does.)
