How do cats use their whiskers, and what role do they play in navigation?
1 Answer
Cats use their whiskers for a variety of purposes. Primarily, cats use their whiskers to detect changes in their environment and to help them navigate. The whiskers are incredibly sensitive and can detect even the slightest changes in air currents, allowing cats to move through small spaces without bumping into anything. They also use their whiskers to detect prey and to communicate with other cats.
