    1. I’ve been picking up and saving cat whiskers since I was a kid… met my wife six years ago who is pretty witchy and we got three cats together. She started saving whiskers she found and it reminded me of my collection that was packed away. Probably have about a hundred now together

    2. They’re so sharp, they will probably be worth quite a bit of money when society collapses

      We used them in a research lab to stuff brain material up a glass tube of a microscopic diameter to measure electric currents in the brain tissue

    4. My daughter has been collecting our pets whiskers for the past few years. She’s over 700 now

    5. My cat sheds whiskers and full claws sooo often it’s crazy lol I’ve probably found 34 of his whiskers in the last few months alone. They’re so sharp!

      I DO THIS TOO..they seem so special when i find them..mine are in a cute lil vase also 🐈

    8. I’ve had my baby cat for almost 10 years and have never found one of her whiskers. What am I doing wrong? Is the whisker fairy not pleased with me? Should I set out some milk and cookies at night?

      You should make some into bookmarks, stick them on card and write a nice quotation with it

      If you collect them over the lifetime of your cat and say sort them chronogically, it should be possible to generate a timeline of trace isotopes of your cats enviroment

    11. Why are people collecting cat and dog whiskers? Has this always been a thing? Seen an increasing number of these posts of late

    12. I have something similar next to my collection of face masks. Grandpa just won’t stay quiet. Dinner is ready soon.

      I always did this with my childhood cats, my parents were already collecting them before my birth so we had so many of them ! I can’t wait to have a cat on my own and continue, I already have tiny boxes I don’t know what to put in

    14. I dont know if that jar was meant for whiskers but you can buy actual whisker saving decorative stuff now, so its defintely not odd. My mom and I both have collections of cat whiskers
