…but whiskers never fade.
When Livvy was a baby –about 6 or 7 months old– she got a little too close to a burning candle. I know! Yikes! Her eyebrow whiskers got singed just a little, and they shriveled and curled at the tips. It’s been almost a year since that incident, and LOOK! She still has the same old shriveled, candle-singed eyebrow whiskers!
Is it normal for a cat to cling to her whiskers this long? I have another cat, Milo– he sheds EVERYTHING about five times a year. I could have rebuilt two or three cats from him already, the cat loses so much hair and whiskers! Make no mistake– Livvy sheds a good deal of hair now, too. After I took these photos, there were big gobs of white silvery fur all over my camera lens, EW! It’s just her singed whiskers that are lasting the lifetime… ? Weird!
