Cats wiskers

Question
I took my cat to get groomed and she shaved one side of my cat's wiskers off. Will they grow back?

Answer
Here is a great article for you to read about whiskers and what they are and their purpose.

Bottom line, the whiskers will regrow but it will take months and meanwhile your cat may be a little disoriented as the whiskers serve to help to guide him. If you are otherwise happy with your groomer and this was an odd accident, then okay, but otherwise get a new groomer. By the way, why do you take the cat to the groomer? Cats NEVER need baths. They take care of themselves. They just need good brushings. And trimming hair isn't really necessary except perhaps on the bottom to ensure cleanliness.
