I was wondering if there is any definitive meaning in the way cats hold
their whiskers.  Kami spent the evening with them forward and down, and
later pulled back and down.  I know she was feeling spunky before, and
content later, but I don't know if there is a correlation between moods
and whiskers.  Anyone other than the usual trolls with an opinion?

No surprise there, particularly about the fearful part considering she
has to live with you...

When a cat is fearful, the whiskers are pulled back.

When a cat wants more sensory input about the environment, the whiskers
are forward.

This isn't rocket science and I am very surprised, well not really, that
after years of being owned by a cat you don't already know this.
