Clearly it’s a transmitter. That cat is responsible for exactly 1/5th of all the weird shit you think about.

[-] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Lmfao! For all the people worried about me cutting my cats whiskers, he’s a sphynx. Those are his natural whiskers. As for what’s on his head, that was a whisker naturally shed from my other much more floofily endowed cat.

Feel free to check my other posts of these two idiots (said with love) if you want verification.

I'm sorry you're getting so much grief for this. One of my cats has short little whiskers by her mouth and big long whisker eyebrows. Cats are weirdos by default and that's why we love them.

[-] Masshuru@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I was curious about the short whiskers (just seeing the post) - thanks for the update! People sure do love protecting the kitties!

[-] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah no worries! And for sure. I never thought I could love a creature this much so I get it

[-] mkhopper@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Aside from the fact that the "whisker" looks completely edited, what's worse is if you zoom in, it looks as if someone has trimmed back this cat's real whiskers.

That must be a nightmare for this cat.

He’s a sphynx, it’s my other cats whisker naturally shed.

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you zoom in you can see thin whiskers, what makes you think they were trimmed?

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Why are you trimming your cats whiskers? This brings a lot of stress to your cat. Never do this.

[-] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ya I’m not talking about the whisker sticking out of the fur on his head. I’m talking about the whiskers in his face that appear to be trimmed

[-] SoleInvictus 12 points 1 year ago

This is normal, many sphinxes have short or absent whiskers.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Cornish Rex have whiskers like this too. One of my boys never grows any longer than half an inch, the other has a luxurious set of long crazy curly spaghetti whiskers.

From the article you linked:

When it comes to the shortest whiskers, the Sphynx usually has no whiskers at all or very short, brittle ones. As Sphynx cats tend to have a harder time fitting into small spaces, it’s best to keep them safe inside.

How do you know OP cut them?

[-] dwalin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thats a good point. I don't.

Just saw the thick hair and assumed it was cut.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ummm. Why the fuck would anyone even do that?

"The Whisker"

My dude over here's streaming ESPN through starlink

ESPN rents antenna space on that thing.

I like his short hair and whiskers. I think I'll go shave my cat entirely so he matches and see if YouTube has instructions how to declaw cats at home while I'm at it.

Just kidding, only trying to provoke the concern trolls in here.

[-] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

While you’re there, see if there are any cat tattooing tutorials for me!

[-] Shawdow194@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

My grandmother's old two cat brothers used to eat each others whiskers off

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

cat shows.

He just watched it for the drama. Honest!

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

Why on earth have you trimmed the whiskers on the cat?????????

[-] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

He’s a sphynx, it’s my other cats whisker naturally shed.

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

Oh - didnt know that was a thing. My bad.

[-] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

All good, he’s a weirdo cat and some do end bluntly as if they were trimmed. But to be fair, I would be an awful barber considering I would have missed quite a few, lol
