Oh no! I'd never do that if it hurt him! When I cut them off I don't like pull out the whole thing or anything! I just take a pair of scissors and cut off the area that is bothering him. He never flinches when I do it and he doesn't even seem to notice it at all when I do it so the though of it hurting never really crossed my mind... I just thought it looked so uncomfortable for him to have his whiskers poking into his eyes or nose.

I don't think I'll do that again though, incase it DOES hurt him... Man I feel all bad now
