Title: Whiskers growing out of back of front legs just above dew claw
Post by: Rosella moggy on April 20, 2009, 22:21:33 PM

I'm not far off 50 and have lived with puds all my life (often 3 or more at a time) so how come I've only just noticed?   :shocked:

Dinah is a black and white girl and most of her whiskers are white so they stand out and are really rather long.  I thought she was unusual and wondered if she had passed them on to the girls.  Both girls have them so I checked Noni, then Freddie and yup them too only shorter (not possible to check Billy  :shify:)

So who else will admit to not noticing this before on their puds but can see them now?

They are more just above the inner elbow Gilly..... ;)

Yes I have seen these before Rosella as I clip a few of the cats nails, so I give them quite a lot of leg rubbing to have them at ease with me touching their legs/feet!  ;)

Thank heavens they are cats as I would'nt touch their feet if they were human!  :sick:

Difficult to see Gill if whiskers are same colour as fur as only a group of maybe 3 or 4 of them on each leg.  It's easier to feel for them as they seem to be longer than fur and texture not os soft as fur of course.
