every since i have lived here in derbyshire for the last four and half years, jack my seal bi raggie would lick and chew raffles whiskas one side until he literally had none left. when i lost raffs last february, jack started doing the same to charley my seal mitted.
someone told me its what mother cats would do to their kittens to stop them straying. what do you think?

Wow, don't know but Jumpy seems to loose a lot of whiskers.....

Maybe Treacle wants to make sure he sticks around!

perhaps i should have put this in the behaviour section it might have got more attention

It is indeed a thing mother cats do to keep kittens from going too far away.
I have noticed Gaudi is missing some whiskers, too, but I don't know who is biting them off. I suspect Xena, but it might be Ricky, too....
They spend a lot of time sleeping in the same bed, so Ricky would have ample opportunity...
