00:00Ever looked at a cat's whiskers? They're long, thick, and cats move them around a lot.
00:05But have you ever wondered what their purpose is?
00:08Many people believe that a cat's whiskers are directly connected to their sense of smell.
00:13So, if a whisker is pulled out or cut, the cat will have trouble smelling things.
00:17But that's a myth.
00:19A cat's whiskers, or vibrosay, have nothing to do with their nose or sense of smell.
00:24Their main function is as a navigation sensor.
00:26The whiskers are extremely sensitive to air vibrations and touch.
00:31They help cats measure tight spaces, feel objects in the dark, and even detect the movement of prey.
00:37The whiskers are also connected to very sensitive nerves and blood vessels.
00:41So, cutting a cat's whiskers is like pulling out one of our hairs.
00:45It's uncomfortable and can leave the cat disoriented.
00:49The real fact is, a cat's whiskers are a super sensor that helps them move and hunt.
00:54So, never cut their whiskers.
