Abnormal Whisker

[sasha snail]

So my kitten is a few months old and she has one whisker that is way thicker than the rest. When I felt it, it felt like a wire. It's also shorter and it curves in an odd way too. The rest of her whiskers are long and straight. Does anyone know why it's like that? Should I be worried about it or have to pluck it out?

I wouldn't pluck it out.. though I am curious. Can you take a pic of it?

Definitely don't pluck it. That would hurt her a lot.

aww. I say it doesn't bother her a bit. leave it alone! it will fall out and regrow as all whiskers do.. when it does regrow, I am curious if it will be straight or curly again.

There is a breed or two of cats that has curly whiskers.
