Cat Whiskers Falling Out Stress. Whiskers regularly fall out and are replaced. Your cat’s whiskers grow, fall out and get replaced, just like regular hairs.
Unless it is a serious medical condition, there is no reason for you to stress over the issue. Your cat’s whiskers grow, fall out and get replaced, just like regular hairs. Even subtle movements in the air around them are felt by a cat through its whiskers.
Although of course they much longer, they are thicker, they are more deeply embedded into the cat’s tissue and there are more nerves surrounding the base of the hair than the other hairs found on a cat’s body.
Cat's suffering from this condition often cause the hair loss themselves by licking the belly instead of the hair just falling out, which is often assumed by the owner. If your cat is losing their whiskers and/or their fur, it is important to have them checked out by your vet in order to get to the bottom of the issue. Your cat may experience issues with standing on all four legs, and you may even notice your cat leaning or falling over at times, which can be a frightening sight. Cat’s may lose whiskers naturally or through trauma or disease.
