Hey there thank you for this post. I have two cats with identical whiskers and I found 6 in a 3 week period, but they both have a full face of whiskers and I wouldn’t have noticed of i didn’t find them.

In reply to Christina. Apologies for the late reply, but sticking the whisker back in won't do any good and will be very uncomfortable (possibly painful) for your cat. It's much like a hair that falls off the human head. Once it's out, it's out, and it will either grow back or the hair follicle will remain dormant. If you have concerns that your cat is losing too many whiskers, please contact your veterinarian. They will be able to help!

Is it bad to stick the fallen whisker back into your cat? Or even to stick it on yourself?

In reply to Victoria. Hi, Victoria. I'm not sure what you mean by 'twitch'. Could you elaborate?

Do cat whiskers still twitch shortly after falling out?

In reply to Klaudja Memaj. I would take her in to the vet. Although some whisker loss is normal (whiskers grow, fall out, then regrow), losing all her whiskers is not. This is something that you would need to talk with your vet about.

In reply to Pam. Having whiskers fall out from time to time is normal, but I'm not sure about whiskers "breaking off". Do they break off if you touch them? Like, are they brittle? I would ask your veterinarian about that. Brittle whiskers sound like they could be a health issue.
