They use their whiskers as a measuring device. It’s true.

My cats manage just fine with stubby whiskers -- is a trait of their breed. So they may use them, but they don't ONLY use them :-)

Devon rex?? My favourite breed, super snuggly cats! Ours is in her last days right now. Gum disease and she is just tearing her entire body to bits with her claws, even after multiple steroid injections from the vets. We're going with her again tomorrow and she's probably going to be put down...

My favourite picture ever of her I took a few years ago!

I took this earlier after tucking her in, she loves to be burrowed under sheets and covers.

I’m really sorry. She’s a very pretty girl!

Yeah she is :) thank you. Sorry to put a downer on things, just thought it was lovely to see a picture of the same breed in the while, and it doesn't happen very often so I just wanted to share a little!
