My cats do the same thing...I used to collect them. Some were damn long...but I lost them.

Bah, perth beat me to the post.

To justify my own post, I'll cleverly tie it all back to the original thread:

Does your cat pee in the shower?

insoluble · 12-08-2003, 02:55 PM

but I found this

perth · 12-08-2003, 02:58 PM

I can't really find anything that clearly says whether the nerves extend into the whiskers or whether they cluster at the base (I suspect the latter), but either way, it wouldn't be very nice to cut them off.

insoluble · 12-08-2003, 02:59 PM

they are just hairs - just thicker and set deeper!

For the lazy or over-informed, here's the most relevant text from my link:

Quote:

One of the most important rules to remember about your cat's whiskers is that they are crucial to her sensory abilities and should never be cut off or pulled out of her. To pull out a cat's whiskers would be hurting her on the most sensitive part of her body – just imagine someone punching you hard in the nose and you'll realise how much it would hurt your kitty. It would also be dangerous to a human, as no cat would let someone do this without defending herself. Cutting off a cat's whiskers is paramount to taking away their independence; not only will they not be able to sense in the dark but they will not be able to sense predators and will become scared of leaving the house.

I have no joke here, I just like saying "spanking the cat." A lot.

On a related topic (sort of), I just finally voted on the poll and realized just how scary the tally looks as far as people who pee in the shower.

insoluble · 12-08-2003, 03:03 PM

AHA! Juanita is an inside cat

But to get back to the topic - she drinks from the shower that I pee in. Then she licks me. Ahhh - the circle of life. (she also licks her butt though - which is worse - cat butt or human shower pee?)

Eh, no worries! It all ends up in the same place.

One of my cats refuses to drink water from a pet dish.
She will ONLY drink water from a large bowl standing on the kitchen counter...

insoluble · 12-08-2003, 03:35 PM

yeah - my cat will knock over any water containing thing I try. I had to get her a huge dog dish, but she scoops the water from that onto the floor, so she now has to scavenge in the shower.

lumberjim · 12-08-2003, 03:46 PM

cats dont like to drink out of plastic or metal...try a coffee mug

insoluble · 12-08-2003, 03:57 PM

I also tried -
Pyrex bowls of assorted sizes,
every cup I own,
plates,
etc...

The shower is easy and she does fine with it

lumberjim · 12-08-2003, 04:49 PM

do you put it near the food? our cats would ignore the water if it was near the food.....we had to put it in another room.

oh, btw
my coworker mike pees in the shower( he's reading over my shoulder). he's a big believer in the anti fungal properties of urine. freak!

not only does he pee in the shower, he did it once while his wife was in there with him.

ICK!
