WHAT?

This morning I opened one eye to Josy standing over me saying "I cut the strings off of Sophie's mouth. I just went snip snip snip!" I ask her what she meant and immediately I told her to go get Sophie. She brought Sophie to me and sure enough she has cut or shall I say trimmed her whiskers. So we have a whiskerless cat that just ADORES Josy!!!! You would think the cat would run every time Josy was near! But no she LOVES her, go figure? Do cats actually need whiskers?
