Wasn't sure where to post this, so forgive me if I made a mistake. My Little One's top whisker on her right side has shifted position. Instead of going out, it's going up. Any idea what would cause this and is it something to be concerned about? Do whiskers fall out and regenerate? Help.

Do not worry about it.
The Whisker will fall out soon.
They will regrow.

Oh, okay. Whew. Thanks so much! I'd never seen that before with my Molly and Little One has been through a lot the last few months - with the coyote attack and her new indoor life with a roommate. She's adjusting beautifully and I didn't want to think anything was lurking to stress her out.

I always find my cats whiskers on the floor and can tell what cats they came from.
I also have sphynx that do not have whiskers.

Now don't laugh at me....I save all the whiskers that I find. I've been saving them since Wayne....he would have been 16yrs this July!!!! I've had Phoebe, Max, Samson and Cameo to add to the growing stash of whiskers. I just can't bring myself to throw them out when I see them. Some of them are pretty long...Wayne was a big cat...and I'm sure he had ones over 6 inches long...pretty impressive, eh?? So, if anyone needs real cat whiskers for a project....give me a buzz......LOL !!!!

I've had one cat - Molly - for about eleven years. And I have to say, I have never noticed her whiskers falling out or going lopsided on her face! LOL! With Little One being a tuxedo kitty, the white whisker pointing toward her eye on her mostly black face was pretty noticeable.
