Should You Ever Trim Your Cat's Whiskers?

Cats’ whiskers are long, sensitive hairs that help them navigate their surroundings and communicate with other cats. They are also important for balance and coordination. You may be wondering, “Can you trim cat whiskers?” The answer is yes, but it is not recommended.

Trimming a cat’s whiskers can disorient them and make them feel anxious or stressed. Cutting a cat’s whiskers too short or too often can make them painful, potentially leading to infection. If you must trim your cat’s whiskers, only do so if absolutely necessary. Always consult with a veterinarian before trimming your cat’s whiskers.
