I've also read that people cut them to get the mustaches to lay flat. I'm not going to cut them. Thanks for sharing.

How long have you been growing them out? Are they slow growing? I hate growing pains!

Here is a little more information for you:

Thank you so much for the article. It was very informative. I'm definitely going to leave Boop's whiskers alone. I didn't know they were so sensitive. I thought it would be like plucking our eyebrows.
