Why Do Cats 🐱 Have Whiskers?

How They Work
Each thick whisker is filled with tiny, supersensitive nerves that help your cat judge distance and space. It’s how they make decisions like: Is this box too small to get inside? How far do I need to jump to reach that counter?
It’s also how they detect what’s around them. “Cats that are blind can navigate rooms very well by just walking around and letting their whiskers get a sense of where they are spatially,” Cousins says.

The follicles -- the sacs that hold the hairs -- are deep, with lots of nerve endings that send messages to the cat’s brain.There’s also a sensory organ at the tip of each whisker. It picks up vibrations in the environment that help the cat sense where they are and what other creatures are around them.

Most whiskers are rooted in the thick pads on the upper lip, but smaller sets are in the eyebrow area, along the chin, and near the feet.

The ones on the sides of the nose are the same width as your cat’s body; they help them figure out whether a space is wide enough to squeeze through.
