Donating YT 500 Club Member | A Whiskers Question I feel kinda dumb asking this question. But its bugging me so.... Jasper's whiskers have always been so soft. Well, over the last couple of weeks I have noticed black ones that are more stiff and stickily like. I hope someone understands what I'm trying to explain. Anyway, they are black in color and on both sides of his face. Will there be a lot of these because I really like his soft ones which he has a bunch of. Which brings another question to my mind...are these going to end up replacing all of his gorgeous whiskers hes always had? Thanks everyone!

| Maybe, or maybe not. Teddy's whiskers have grown thicker and more coarse. Max's are a finer and fewer. I cut Teddy's and I think that was a mistake. Some people pluck them, but I would be afraid of ingrown hairs.

I cut them as close to the skin as possible. He has them in his mustache, his eyebrows, and one big one under his chin. They seem to be itchy too when I trim them. Maybe because they are "feelers" (like a cat's) and when they are short he feels them more?

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Oh I forgot to mention that Jasper has a small mole, I guess you'd call it, and he has 3 long ones growing out of it. Well, it sounds like the best thing to do is leave them alone except for the trim every couple of months and see what happens, huh? At least we will know if Maximos are like the are because they were cut short. My little baby puppy is growing up on me Kristin and I don't like. Why does it go by so fast? Hes 9 months old already. Seems like I just bought him and joined YT doesn't it?
