Camera Critters #75, a magnificent set of whiskers

This is Winston in 'very alert' mode, whiskers well forward to catch even the faintest nuance of a scent.


Winston and Monty have an occasional spat. Monty is the usual instigator but Winston isn't entirely blameless. The other day, after Monty had been consigned to the conservatory for 'time out' I found this whisker. I don't know who it belongs to - neither of the cats looks short of a full set. This whisker is 3" (just over 7 1/2 cms) long.
Thank you to Misty Dawn and Tammy for hosting this entertaining meme.

  4. My what long whiskers you have!
    I'm smiling at the name Winston. My daughter's cat is named Winston. He recently escaped her apartment and sadly hasn't returned. We think someone catknapped him.
    Love the perspective of your shot!

    Carletta - your daughter must be so upset. It's awful not knowing what has happened - I do hope there will be a happy ending.
