Do you suspect that your cat is in pain? Be sure to pay attention to the position of your pet's whiskers.

Dangerous position of cat whiskers

A clear sign that the cat is experiencing severe pain is its whiskers that are very tense and sticking out to the sides.

In this case, the animal must be taken to the vet immediately: perhaps the pet has encountered a serious illness and needs help.

Slightly curved whiskers are also a bad sign. Apparently, the furry four-legged friend is in pain, although not as much as in the previous case.

But if the whiskers hang freely, then the cat’s owner can rejoice: the animal feels normal.
