He didn’t have any major trouble as he was still an indoor cat at the time. Needless to say… my daughter lost all scissor privaleges after that!

I don’t have children but if a child asked me, “do cat’s whiskers grow back?” I would have been on High Alert.

How did Figaro get around without his whiskers? The are an important part of a cat:

“But the whisker’s primary use is to help a cat judge whether or not he’ll fit through an opening. A cat’s whiskers are roughly as wide as his body — sort of a natural ruler.”

If someone had cut off my “natural ruler” I’d be avoiding them, that is for sure.
