The magnets weren't a huge give away enough that you are a crazy cat lady?

I do this too! But I keep mine in a little tin

Crazy cat guy*. But yeah, I do love my cat.

I’ve seen a few people do that, and that’s how I got the idea. But didn’t have a cool little tin, so pin board it was.

That’s cool because if you ever need to cast a spell on that cat, you’ll be ready.

I used to poke my cat (gently!) with the hard end of his whiskers. He flinched a bit and let out a nearly silent meow. I was just trying to let him know how it felt when I stepped on those. He's been gone a very long time and now I wish I had kept them!

Be honest, you plucked them. They never fall out on their own and even if they somehow did, how would you find it?

I’m guessing you aren’t a cat owner right?

Well my roommate has one, I honestly never noticed any of her whiskers falling out. That’s new to me! By the way, I was just joking around. I still can’t believe they just fall out though.

All good. And Yup. They shed them naturally as new ones grow in. Very small but easily found when they’re on your pillow. Or stickin directly up in a piece of furniture. Or when you sweep anywhere. The middle one was found last night in a fresh pile of her puke.

Well thank you for teaching me something new!

Ouch. Never stepped on one but have definitely been stabbed by them. Putting on a pair of joggers I left on the floor and one was hiding in there. Thought somethin but me. And sorry for your loss.

Preparing for some cat-based voodoo?

If only I could find one to stop her from chewing on any piece of plastic she finds. No spell is that powerful tho.

Maybe you can convince someone that these are tiger whiskers and sell them for big money.

Of course they fall out. A whisker is just a type of hair. They don't shed as often as hair, but they do occasionally come to the end of their lifespan and drop off.

why?

Because she’s my lil bby cat.

BUCEES!!

For the same reason parents save their children's baby teeth and first haircut - memories.

Serial killer vibes

A test tube with stopper or a cleaned "Chubby" soda bottle is a good way to store them safely.

What if you've never had (Or most likely found) any of your cat's whiskers before? I've got 4 cats, 9f, 3f, and two that are 1m (Same litter); I've never found a whisker off of any of them before. Is there something wrong with them? Or is it more likely I've just not found any?
