    My cat is both.

    And I don't quite understand what is uncouth about 'female pubic hair'.

    Washed and properly harvested, of course.

    Cats have nerve endings in their whiskers which they use to judge small openings, so pulling their whiskers is very painful to them its nothing like pulling a human hair, so you really shouldnt do this.

    Personally I find just "treetopping" the cat's coat on her back is quite good enough. If she doesn't react the razor is sharp if she does you won't try that again.
    YMMV
    It just keeps getting better

    One of my cats was sniffing my hones and stopped at a Nakayama Kiita Kamisori to sharpen her claws, good choice!
    The other cat is stealing my tomonaguras for cat toys, I find them everywhere!

    The nerve endings are in the follicle, not the whisker, which is dead keratin like hair. Not only is the whisker thicker than normal at the base, but the follicle it sits in is more richly supplied with nerve endings than usual and more deep-seated, so anything touching the whisker - even a puff of air - is communicated to the nerve endings by the whisker moving in the follicle. Cats whiskers fall out naturally on occasion. If the nerve was in the whisker, that would fall out too.

    Regards,

    Yes the nerves are in the follicle, I did oversimplify my post but the point I was trying to convey is the sensitivity of a cats whiskers. As cat whiskers are rooted much more deeply in the cats skin than a normal hair is and have a much greater amount of nerve endings and blood supply it means any pulling or tugging (let alone pulling out!) would be very painful to the cat and just plain cruel to do so.

    Just to set your mind at ease, the original post was a spoof - I do not own a cat and, even if I did, I would not do anything so unkind.

    ...that's not what your whiskerless cat is going around telling everyone...
