Mystic whiskers. A feline's whiskers are thicker than standard hairs, have further roots and provide imperative tactile data. Whiskers are so sensitive that they don't need to touch a protest for a feline to detect adjacent development — changes in wind current can be sufficient. To check for indications of life in prey, felines can turn the long, inflexible whiskers that jut sideways starting from the muzzle. These whiskers likewise enable felines to quantify tight spaces to choose whether they can fit through. Stubble like hairs behind the front legs enable felines to feel their prey, while bristles over the eyes trigger a squinting reflex to ensure the eyes when a question nears the feline.

Most cats had short hair until about 100 years ago, when it became fashionable to own cats and experiment with breeding.
