Molly has truly epic whiskers. It’s as if the whiskers of a much larger cat were grafted onto her cheeks and eyebrows. I measured one at a staggering 5½”. Surely these whiskers must be as much a hindrance as a boon.

It may be that the long whiskers actually explain her skittishness; could they make her extra-sensitive to disturbances and movements nearby?
