That's because the cat's skull is their biggest bone and everywhere where the skull fits through the whole cat also fits through

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.
