We have two males we adopted from the shelter. We got Forrester first
and after a couple of months we decided to get him a buddy:
http://www.ajh.ca/kitten_archives.htm
They are getting along great. They eat out of the same bowl, (dry
food), at the same time. They sleep together and they play like crazy.
Man do they play.

A couple of weeks ago we noticed that Maximus was missing some whiskers.
We though he might have gotten a little too close to a desk lamp or
something, but we were not sure. He lost more whiskers and were really
perplexed. Then a couple of days ago I witnessed Forrester walk up to a
sleeping Maximus, stand over him, put a paw on his shoulder and proceed
to chew off a whisker! Maximus did not even protest.

Have any of you noticed anything like this before?

Thank you.

All of our cats are usually missing a whisker or two. I wouldn't worry
about it.

Thanks Victor. However I am not worried about missing whiskers. It is
the fact that one cat is chewing them off the other cat.

Well, take a video of that and send it in to Animal Planet. I'm sure
they'll pay for it!!! :)

Yeah, they would -- do it ajh! They're soooo cute together. I'm glad they
have each other.

No. But they are cuter than hell and they really appear to enjoy each
other's company. Nice going, Andy. :-)

a yup.. I foster kittens and quite often one has quarter to half inch
whiskers because they were chewed off. One, that I fell in love with and
adopted, I called walrus for a while cause he had such short whiskers. No
idea why, but its not uncommon at all.

That's very weird...
but at least the whiskers will grow back.

I wonder if my cat has been chewing the hair off the top of my head...
for the last few years it's been disappearing...and it does *not* seem to be
growing back!

(that darn cat)
