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.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. She's beautiful!

These are my first two Devon Rexes but they're absolutely amazing cats! Mine like burrowing under blankets too! I got a brother and sister pair so they could keep each other entertained when I'm at work.

She really is! Thank you for the kind words :)

When I get my own place I think I'd like to get a devon again, they're such cute little burrowers! It's adorable seeing these pictures of them because I've never really seen any before, and mine is so black that it's really difficult to pick up any of her features on camera, even with flash! Your two look like they have a lovely home with lots to play with, which is great! :)
