Mi needs those whiskers to decide if he can fit through small spaces, among other things. I would put bitter apple flavor on the new growth. My goodness!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404288 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:04:42 +0000 Karenopa 404288@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awww...Poor Milo! Thank goodness they'll grow back! Bobby could you not bathe your brother so earnestly? =D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404171 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:33:19 +0000 GreatDane 404171@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I didn't know that, CBM! He DOES still suck on his blanket, too.....<br /> Or it could be fiber :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404129 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:32:54 +0000 Buttercup 404129@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Poor Mi,maybe Bob lacks fiber in his diet? lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404128 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:29:12 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 404128@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Whisker and eyebrow chewing happens with kittens quite often. Are the boys regressing to their babyhood? Poor Milo, he does look a little lopsided. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404097 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:59:09 +0000 GreatDane 404097@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hehe :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404090 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:54:04 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 404090@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, yuck!! How would YOU like bitter apple spray sprayed on YOUR face??</p> <p>Just joking. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404087 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:51:57 +0000 katthays 404087@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OH No! That rascal, Bob! Good Grief :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404085 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:48:24 +0000 GreatDane 404085@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awwww now I feel worse for Mi! The good news is that he still has them on one side :)<br /> Guess I'll have to try and keep Bob away from those whiskers. Bitter apple spray? ;-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404079 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:39:36 +0000 mollycat71 404079@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Whiskers give them their sense of balance and their place in space. Not sure if Mi does it but if he tries to jump up onto something he might miss because he can't figure out the distance and where he is in relation to it! Bob, please leave your brudder's whiska's alone, he needs them! Mi, hang in their buddy, you will get those whiskers back! (((Mi))) (((Bob))) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404075 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:33:55 +0000 GizzysAuntie 404075@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes, whiskers tell them where things are, how wide or how high a space is available and if they can fit in or through it. The wider the cat, the wider the whiskers. And they even have them on the backs of their front feet for help in finding prey in dark spaces. I've always been told that cutting or pulling (or chewing) a cat's whiskers is painful. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404074 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:31:29 +0000 GreatDane 404074@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hehe - is he going to be bumping into things now then, HM?<br /> And Bobby is still mellow - he just has a fondness for whiskers :)</p> <p>By the way - he's been woking on the whiskers for quite some time, but this is the first time I've noticed they're all gone over one eye. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404072 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:30:31 +0000 GreatDane 404072@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>No fight at all. Seems to be part of Bobby's grooming of Mi..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404070 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:29:34 +0000 2bpurring 404070@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OMG!!!Didn't that hurt Mi??? I would think he would have put up a big fight?? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404069 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:29:14 +0000 HuddysMama 404069@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>And all this time I thought Bobby was the mellow one. Bad Bobby indeed SMM.</p> <p>They use their whiskers to 'feel things out', sort of like the curb-finders of the 70s. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404068 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:29:09 +0000 GreatDane 404068@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GA, it starts off with Bobby licking Mi's face and he likes that. He always ends up chewing n his whiskers, though. It doesn't seem to hurt Mi or anything but sometimes he'll turn his head away a bit hoping Bobby will keep licking his face instead of eating his whiskers.<br /> You can tell they were chewed off, because there's just a little bit of short whisker left sticking out. Looks pretty ridiculous, actually (but don't tell Mi I said that).</p> <p>Do they need those whiskers for anything? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404066 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:23:32 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 404066@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh no...poor Mi indeed! Bad Bobby! Interesting that you mention this because I noticed that Mia has lost most of her eyebrown whiskers over her left eye. Her eye seems to be okay as far as I can tell. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404065 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:23:09 +0000 GizzysAuntie 404065@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>And Mi just let him? Just brushing Sophie's former housemate's whiskers gets one a growl, but then Pip has always been particular about her person. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18352#post-404063 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:21:18 +0000 GreatDane 404063@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Bobby has chewed off all his eye brow whiskers :(</p> <p><a href="http://thebobster06.multiply.com/photos/album/24#11" rel="nofollow">http://thebobster06.multiply.com/photos/album/24#11</a></p> <p>Anyone else's kitties do this? </p>
