The color of whiskers

[RedHedd]

Mitzi has short, curly white whiskers and Mishi, like all the other oranges, has white whiskers and ALWAYS one black one. I've noticed that one whisker will come in black and then turn white overnight like someone else said and then another black whisker will appear. He always has one black whisker and I've never been able to find one that's fallen out for my collection. My collection consists of all white Mishi whiskers.

This is an interesting thread.

Storm is a blue-grey cat and his whiskers look grey but they're probably more of a black color.

Sunny is an orangie with white on his face and he has white whiskers and also some black ones too.

Cirrus is a spotted tabby looking cat and has the bicolored striped whiskers.

Sky is grey, tan, and white with white on his face and he has white whiskers.

My RB Pepper was a black cat and he had black whiskers.

Calvin-all black-black whiskers
Hobbes-all black-black whiskers except two white ones right next to each other. I'll have to try to get a picture of them.

Does anyone else collect found whiskers from around the house? I do and keep them in a box.

Tubby had all black whiskers except one white one. Just the opposite of Dylan and PB & Stubby! I was going to post a pic but Imagestation isn't letting me in for some reason - drat! This whisker would fall out now and then, but would always grow back....in the same place.

Peanut and Cracker Jack both have white whiskers. I haven't noticed any black ones on Peanut, but now I'll have to look since she does have some black hair in her....

So to answer the question, yes, my kitties follow suit.

Yup -- here is the start of my Mishi whisker collection, which I now keep in a box that Sirrahbed sent me:

I've added to my collection since this pic was taken.

Barli (orange/buff w/ white on his belly, feetsies and chin) has all white whiskers. Rizzo (brown tabby w/ small white bib) has about an equal amount of short black whiskers and long white ones. This is an interesting thread!!
