Is It Normal For Cats To Have Whiskers Growing Out Of Their Ears?

This is a pic of our 11 week old kitten w/ whiskers in the normal place . . and coming out of her ears. I've never seen this before.

Hehe, yes those are called ear tufts and they're very normal and adorable.

Yes, it's just long fur. Whiskers are where his eyebrows are.

Theo has major ear tufts. When he was kitten they were REALLY long.

Technically known as "furnishings"
Great ear tufting!

Don't worry your kitten's perfectly normal and very cute.

yes, very normal. Theo had long tufts when he was a kitten but now, they are much less. Your kitten may have the long tufts only until adult.

SO cute.
Don't worry, it is normal like what others assured you.
