What a difference a year makes!

[rach10]

So yesterday we celebrated Mom's one year of life (one year since her AVM) and I made her another German Chocolate Cake, it is so good! I remember promising Mom when it first happened I would make her 3 of those cakes, well, I have, but I will still make her many more! Anyways, thinking back, wow have things changed! I mean a year ago I thought

It is funny but I feel so bad for her, Mom says she tried to jump up on the couch today and couldn't, uh oh! I did see her out on the BBQ which is much smaller than the couch and she had to jump to get up there so I guess she is ok. Ah, I did some research and yes, her whiskers will grow back, whew! I just can't believe he didn't know, I thought it was like some innate knowledge everyone had, but hmm, maybe not him, what a boy! Here is the article that explains the whole whisker situation:
Hi,
I was trimming my cats fur and mistakenly cut the whiskers on one side. I read that the whiskers will grow back if they fall out, but will they grow back if they are cut? If yes, how long should it take? If not, what should I do? Shelly

Dear Shelly,
Your cat's whiskers will grow back within a few weeks. In the meantime, do not let him outdoors since he is at a severe disadvantage without the use of the navigation/radar function that his whiskers provide. Your Pal, Simba

Well, before Neil and I got cats, I didn't know about the whisker thing. Babette has so many of them and they're so long, I wanted to cut hers too...but Neil then told me why I shouldn't. :)
