Show me some whiskers! Cheek whiskers, eyebrow whiskers, the little whiskers on the backs of their front legs. Whiskers that are very l o o o n g and silly little stubby whiskers. White whiskers, black whiskers, those whiskers that are half and half. Does your kitty have all white whiskers except for one black one or vice versa? Has your idiot child ever learned a whisker-related lesson about candles? Do you collect whiskers when they shed? (Lemme see your collection!)

Oliver is a dramatic boy and has dramatic whiskers. The longest whisker I've ever found from him was 5 1/4" long. I collect them, obviously.

And here is a twitchy whisker video.

I know right?? Whenever he's in a really deep sleep he nurses like that and it makes me wanna cry. First of all because it's just objectively cute. But also because he was taken from his mom at only 2 weeks old, so I think he's dreaming of her 😭
