Hmm. None of my other cats that I had growing up had these thats why I was wondering. But they were all indoor/outdoor so they problem fell off with them roaming around all the time.

Cubby has whiskers on his chin as well. It looks like a little goatee. (?sp) And he has them coming out on the side of his nose. Not the ones right about his mouth but in the middle of his nose they are very short you almost can't tell they are there except when he rubs his face on your hand or when he wants cuddles and rubs his face where ever he can on you telling you where to pet.
