not that *I* endorse this, but I know someone who did it in a fit of anger...

Cut off it's whiskers.

I am now in the doghouse with Dagney. <waves>

Ugh, why would you do that?? Don't they have nerves in their whiskers? And the whiskers never grow back?

juju · 12-08-2003, 01:42 PM

Whoops. After careful reading, I see that YOU did not actually do it. :)

tikat · 12-08-2003, 01:45 PM

The whiskers do grow back. My cat's did, at least.

I don't know what happened, but I came home one day and his whiskers were just little nubs. He was clumsy until they grew back, but now they're as long as they should be.

I can't rule out the possibility that he's a regenerating mutant, though. I guess I'll know for sure about a month after I've gotten him fixed.

Hey, Juju ... maybe if you repeat your experiment with a white cat instead of white paper ...

Might be difficult to determine which is dye and which is your blood all over the cat's fur. You might want to spend $1 on a different color.

I would like to submit that the best way to piss off a cat is to piss ON the cat.

meanwhile, I'm calling peta on all of you.

My cats have singed their wiskers off with candles before, they grow back.

My brother use to have what must have been the dumbest cat on earth. He (the cat) hopped up onto a coffee table once, which had a burning candle sitting on it. as he walked by, he brushed his copiously-hairy ass against the flame. As one might expect, it caught on fire. He stopped, looked at his ass, looked at my brother and very meekly meowed. My brother bolted across the room, grabbed the cat and started slapping the fire out. The sight of him spanking this cat to put the fire out has to be one of the funniest things I ever witnessed.

Our current cat is adorable, but completely boring.

Come on now - does it hurt when you get a haircut? Or shave? Does it grow back? Whiskers are hair fool. You seem to be a reasonable intelligent guy, but comments like that are scary!

perth · 12-08-2003, 02:43 PM

Whiskers are more than just hair.

insoluble · 12-08-2003, 02:50 PM

ok, I guess I was wrong - sorry juju. I just thought that since my cat loses the occasional whole whisker, and a lot of partial ones amd she seems none the worse for wear...

My cats do the same thing...I used to collect them. Some were damn long...but I lost them.

Bah, perth beat me to the post.

To justify my own post, I'll cleverly tie it all back to the original thread:

Does your cat pee in the shower?

insoluble · 12-08-2003, 02:55 PM

but I found this

perth · 12-08-2003, 02:58 PM

I can't really find anything that clearly says whether the nerves extend into the whiskers or whether they cluster at the base (I suspect the latter), but either way, it wouldn't be very nice to cut them off.
