I don't know, but DH and I do. I keep tugging on it gently, hoping it will come out - I want to keep it, but don't want to lose it in the house

Here's a bonus Stumpy pic from just now - she fell asleep, snoring away with her little tongue poking out

I was wondering if you were going to try and keep it. Maybe I'm weird but I tend to keep all the whiskers I find around the house. What's even odder is that most of them are Frankie's... either Wickett doesn't lose as many or then disappear better.

Love the tongue barely sticking out... what a cute way to sleep!

I really hope I get to keep it

Stumpy was funny - she'd been suckling in her sleep just before I took that pic. It must have been a happy dream

Longest cat whiskers

\t\t The record for the longest whisker on a cat measured 19 cm (7.5 in) and belongs to Missi, a Maine coon who lives with \t\t\ther owner, Kaija Kyllönen. The whiskers were measured in Iisvesi, Finland on 22 December 2005.

Get out the measuring tape!
