Whiskers, Worries & a Lesson in Kindness
I came home yesterday and noticed something was… off about Luna, our cat. Her whiskers were noticeably shorter. When I gently asked around, my daughter—eyes wide with guilt—admitted she’d trimmed them, not knowing it could hurt Luna.
She feels terrible now, and honestly, I did too. Whiskers aren’t just for show—they help cats sense the world around them. Thankfully, Luna seems okay—still eating, playing, and jumping like usual—but I know it can affect their spatial awareness.
The good news: whiskers do grow back with time. In the meantime, we’re keeping things calm and familiar for Luna. No furniture rearranging, no surprise visitors. Just lots of love, treats, and quiet corners to nap in.
It turned into a teaching moment—for both of us. We talked about animal bodies, feelings, and how even small actions can have big effects. My daughter gave Luna the gentlest apology, and they curled up together soon after.
Healing is happening—in more ways than one. 💕
