CATDOLL : What happens if a cat's whiskers are cut?

If a cat's whiskers are cut, it may have a series of effects on the cat. Here are some possible consequences:

Loss of balance and coordination: Cats' whiskers are an important tool for them to perceive their surroundings, especially in narrow spaces or when moving quickly. There are abundant nerve endings at the base of the whiskers, which can sense tiny air currents and objects around them, helping cats maintain balance and coordination. If the whiskers are cut off, cats may lose this perception ability, resulting in unstable walking, easy bumping into obstacles or falling.

Affect hunting ability: In the wild, cats use their whiskers to measure the width of holes or gaps to determine whether they can fit through. If the whiskers are cut, this ability of cats will be affected, and they may not be able to accurately judge whether they can enter a certain space, thus affecting their hunting efficiency.

Mental stress: whiskers are not just physical tools for cats, but are also closely related to their emotions and psychological state. After their whiskers are cut, cats may feel uneasy, nervous or afraid because of the loss of this important sensory ability, and may even have a stress reaction.
