Whiskers should never be cut or trimmed
They help a cat feel its way around, when he is angry they pull
back, when happy or curious they push forward.
The whisker's primary use is to help a cat judge whether or not
he'll fit through an opening. A cat's whiskers are roughly as
wide as his body -- sort of a natural ruler. The whisker tips
are sensitive to pressure. You'll probably see a cat stick his
head in and out of an opening before he puts his body in. He's
judging the width of the opening, and is determining if he can
fit into it.
