When I was a kid, the Lion King was my favorite movie, and when Mufasa died, I knew he was dead because his whiskers were wrinkled, and I knew I had never ever seen a wrinkled whisker on our (alive) cat. Now I learn that alive cats can have wrinkled whiskers...was anything ever true?

Sometimes cats are just naturally scraggly; this is far preferred to longhair cat dingleberries and have to shave their ass.

Scraggly cats are adorable. But this one looks like she might also need the occasional butt shave.

I never have seen a cat with wrinkled whiskers.

And I have known a lot of cats living on a farm.

However all of them were European shorthair.

So I don't know any other races that people have.

Hi, welcome to your new identity!

I left some whisker straighteners out for you, have a nice life as a furry!
