are all cat whiskers white?

[greycat2]

Kuce has white whiskers while Luvbug and Lil' Jag have black whiskers.

My RB cat Sphinx had all gray whiskers except one white whisker.

Tilli has one black "whisker" (not in the whiskers per se, but in the "sideburns", don't know what to call them in English).

"sideburns"! That's cute! I don't know what those are called in English either!

I guess my cats are just boring with their plain old white whiskers then.

nope! Mouse was a blue kitty w/black whiskers, & Cable's are black at the base, then turn white - so hers are two-toned!

 

[darkeyedgirl]

Heck no!

Snickers has CURLY black whiskers!

KC has black whiskers, and ONE WHITE ONE!

Hammie's got white...

Jessie has white...

Zorro has black, and a *few* white...

Dusty, she has solid gray, just like her dusty gray fur.

Thisbe, my black-and-white cat, has white whiskers. Cushie and Marnie, my black cats, have black whiskers, although Cushie's are a lighter black.

Forest and Harvey's are all white, but about half of Tailer's are black and half are white. We've always thought that was odd.

 

[coolcat]

Guess what my friends,....

....in my wallet, next to the Pic of Gema I has a pic of Milky and a White whisker too!

........

Cheers!

Sweetie is black and her wiskers are white at the base and black at the tips. I about drove her nuts trying to get a good look at them while reading the thread.

Miss Kitty has all white whiskers. Zoe has some solid white and some white with black bases. I think brown tabbies with no white have whiskers like that...kind of reminds me of their ticked fur.

My dad has a black cat who has black whiskers, and a friend of mine has a gray cat with gray whiskers. Another of my dad's cats is a gray tuxie, and he has white whiskers. All of his calicos have white whiskers, and the one tortie we had when I was little had mixed whiskers.
And you know, I've never seen a red cat with red whiskers. Maybe they only come in white, gray and black?
I'd be interested to know the genetics behind whisker color.
