Unlike your cats fur, these hairs are deeply routed in a cat’s tissue. Whiskers give cats the ability to feel air vibrations and enable them to see or “feel” even better in the dark. A cat’s whiskers are approximately as long as their body. Also, cat’s lacks collar bones, so using their whiskers, they are able to judge what spaces they can fit in.
