Greetings, friends. I want to share with you something that was interesting for me when I was watching an animal program on television and I was very surprised to hear why cats have mustaches and why they should not be cut, for me it was impressive and the intention of this post is to share this brief information.

It is important to consider the role that whiskers play in the sense of location and directionality of the cat, in addition to the help they represent to move in small or dangerous spaces.

A cat that has lost its whiskers is more likely to get hurt easily because they can not measure distances and can hit objects.

Cats use their whiskers to measure if their body fits in the spaces they want to pass through, if they do not have them it is possible that they get stuck somewhere because they can not do this measurement correctly.

It is also important to consider that the whiskers function as an assistant to balance the cat, if you do not have them, the cat will have problems walking in a straight line, running and even jumping.
