Cat Losing Whiskers On One Side. In most cases, your cat losing whiskers is completely normal and should be nothing to worry about, however, if it is tied to other symptoms it may be much more serious and will require a vet visit. Well, i've noticed in the past few weeks my cat has been losing a few whiskers.
With this condition, the cat’s fur may not grow back at all and if it does, it may grow back in odd patches. Just as humans shed their hair and eyelashes, so too do cats lose their whiskers every now and again. A cat has approximately 8 to 12 of these whiskers on each side of their face, arranged in horizontal rows that fan out sideways on each side of the upper lip, plus some tufts of shorter whiskers above their eyes, on their chin, and even on the back of their forelegs, just above the paw!
Now i just looked at him and that one whisker is gone, too.
One of my fosters have all his whiskers broken on one side. I have noticed this over the past 6 months and it seems to be on the left side. Have a quick inspection of your cat’s face. Why are my cat’s whiskers falling out?
