What are the cats whiskers for? They are actually organs of sense. When something touches the tip of a cat's whisker, sensitive nerve endings at its base are actually stimulated, allowing the cat to feel things several inches away from its space. The whiskers are specially helpful in giving the cat a "feel" if a space is too small to squeeze through.
Cats, like people, are either right handed or left-handed- that is, they favor either their right or left paws. However, cats do not have the ability to taste sweet.
Check this out. A man named Sir Henry Wyat was sentenced to the Tower of London, at a time when prisoners generally starved to death. Sir Henry's kitty seemed to understand the situation because she snuck into the Tower, bringing him a freshly-killed pigeon, every day. When the king heard of this, he must have felt sad for the kitty, because he immediately set Sir Henry free.
