I read something the other day about cats supposedly having 24 wiskers on each side of their face.

Anyone interested in an informal survey?

Dori never stays still long enough for me to count, especially not to 25
I don't think she has that many whiskers though, I will have to check it out, maybe when she is sleeping.

Sam has a bunch of bushy whiskers. I got to 15 before he decided enough was enough. It's not like I have anything better to do than harrass the cat!

Vegemite has 22 whiskers on each side and 9 eyebrows on the left and 8 eyebrows on the right. She wanted to know what the heck I was up to!

Milo: 18 whiskers on the left, about the same on the right and 6 eyebrows above each eye. Though it's easy to miss the tiny whishers right near the nose.

So far it seems 20-30 each side is a pretty solid number...

I can only imagine the looks everyone is getting from their kitties! LOL
