Cat whiskers are important for cats and it is essential to them to help them find their way in the dark, use their senses to approach a predator, and judge the space between objects. If you cut or trim their whiskers they may have trouble walking straight and have difficulty running also get disoriented and fall.

You should not trim it at all. Whiskers shed on their own. This is completely normal. When cut, a cat can become disoriented and scared. The whiskers are important for protection and communication.

No, it is not recommended to trim your cat's whiskers. Whiskers are an important sensory organ for cats, and help them to navigate and sense their surroundings. Trimming or cutting whiskers can be painful and can interfere with their ability to sense their environment. If your cat's whiskers are too long, they can be gently combed to keep them neat and tidy.

Whiskers Don't Need Trimming!

But you should never trim them. A cat with cut whiskers will become disoriented and scared. “If you cut them, that's like blindfolding someone, taking away one of their ways of identifying what's in their environment,” says veterinarian Jane Brunt
