i have found four whiskers in the past three weeks. Should I be worried? I've had cats all my life and finding whiskers is not uncommon.  But finding 4 in that short period of time and from only one cat, I find disturbing.  

I've googled, searched through my animal wellness book and visited some cat websites. Not finding anything too definitive.  Would love some feedback from anyone that might have some! thanks

First off, welcome to the TCS forums.

Unless there are additional "symptoms" it's probably just coincidental.   Feline follicular dysplasia is pretty much confined to the Cornish and Devon Rex.  As long as she's not actively pulling her hair, I'd not worry over much.

Caveat: this is merely an opinion, and shouldn't be taken as medical advice.  As with any health issue, your Vet is the person to turn to when you're uncertain.
