Why does my cat let another cat chew his whiskers? Is it normal?

Cats normally shed whiskers just like they shed their other fur. So, it is normal to occasionally find whiskers, but it is a little weird to find 3 whiskers in 3 days. If there are areas in her whiskers that are appearing bare or thin or any other areas of hair loss, then I would recommend having your veterinarian examine her. If everything looks fine around her whiskers, then it might just be a fluke that you have found 3 whiskers so close together and you may not see any more for a while. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is normal cat behavior. Grooming each other is natural. As long as Mowgli isn't bothered by it and Lola isn't obsessive it is fine. I'm glad that they love each other so much! I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!

If everything else looks normal in the area, its probably fine to monitor. Sometimes the hair cycle can sync up. As long as the whiskers are regrowing, this is normal. If you see lesions on the skin, this could indicate pathology and DMX should see his veterinarian. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

As long as they aren't causing serious wounds to each other, it's fine for them to play fight. If they are biting each other hard enough to draw blood, or scratching to the point where they bleed, then yes I would stop them from play flighting by distracting them with a toy or treat. The kitten whose whiskers are broken off will grow back over time, cats will shed them on their own as well. I hope this helps!

It looks like your dog loves your kitty. Since your cat is a lot smaller than she is there maybe a bit of mothering involved. It is nothing to worry about. It gives your cat comfort and also gives Lulu comfort.

This is likely an age related change and nothing to worry about. Some animals can develop white hair or whiskers prematurely at a younger age even. Regardless, it is typically something that is not concerning. Maintain her annual exam and get her blood tested each year as a preventive screening. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks like a superficial wound or scratch. Luka may have lost one of his whiskers, it will grow back. You should clean this area twice daily with cotton buds and warm, boiled water or an antiseptic skin solution (for example 4% Hibiclens). As long as it is healing OK and it is not bothering Luka you can manage this at home. However, if you notice that the lip becomes swollen or painful, you should take Luka to your local vets for an appointment.
