As Evan aged, though, he started growing in some whiskers that were not, in fact, all white. See?
Do you see those partially black whiskers? Evan wants to know what that's about. As a fellow ages, isn't he supposed to grow more white? That's what Evan thought, at least until his whiskers started turning black.
What's the whisker situation for all of you? Are your whiskers white? Black? A little bit of both?
Wishing you a wonderful beginning of the week!

Our Tip of the Day:
Today's National Cat Health Care Month tip is all about those litter boxes. Especially if you have multiple cats, make sure that you have enough litter boxes with regard to the number of kitties in the home. It is often recommended that you have as many litter as you have cats, plus one. If there are not enough litter boxes, it is possible that cats might quickly find the litter boxes too filled or dirty, or that there might even be some bullying or battles over use of litter boxes. This could lead some cats to have to hold onto their urine or stool, which in turn could lead to issues such as UTIs or constipation. Or, some cats might simply begin looking for other areas in the house to urinate or defecate outside of the box.
Other litter box issues that might lead to health concerns or unwanted behaviors include litter boxes that are not cleaned enough, litter boxes that are in an area that is too high traffic for some cats' preference, litter boxes that are hidden too far away for certain cats' liking, or litter boxes that contain a type of litter that certain cats simply do not prefer. Obviously, issues such as holding urine or stool, resulting UTIs and constipation, and out-of-box urination and defecation are not ideal. For these reasons, do be sure that the litter box situation is suitable for all cats in the house, so that all the kitties involved can stay as happy and healthy as possible.

McLaren has grown two black whiskers as well!
I haven't really checked the whiskers on our Orange cats. But our Black is getting white whiskers. You all have a grand day.
Evan is a cutie, I like his whiskers. I checked Prancie's and hers are white.
Very cute drawing. Excellent tips. This is one rule I break because I couldn't handle 14 boxes ( I have 13 cats counting Drake, the one I have been watching for almost 2 yrs. )
The PO'M has whiskers that start out one color, then fade into another color at the ends! Evan, sorry, wish we knew more about feline whisker colorage; if we did, we'd figure out a way to have Manny or CB grow a white whisker, so I didn't have to look at their bellies to tell them apart! (Manny has a big white patch, CB's is very small).
Our Angel Hercule was an orange Persian and only had white whiskers. You're a very special orange cat, Evan ! Purrs
Interesting, I've never really checked it out - at first glance it seems everyone has white whiskers, but I'll have to do a thorough inspection. Evan, you are handsome as always today!
That's so interesting! Mudpie's are black, but every now and then a little (devil) white horn shows up over her eye ;) (Don't tell her I said that...)
You never know, hair can come out any color, and if the whiskers fell out recently they might grow back in darker. Odd things happen as we age, as anyone who has aged at all will tell you.
While i have always believed that books grow our brains, i hadn’t thought of them growing other things, that’s a neat doodle!
Oh cool. We have white and black whiskers too.
I had a friend who's black cat had both black and white whiskers when he got older!
Carmine has white ones, but I'm not sure about Tylan.
It's cool that Evan's whiskers are two colors!
So far I have all white whiskers but maybe when I turn three next month I'll sprout some other colors??? Blue would be nice.....HAHA
Hugs, Teddy
Ellie has all black whiskers - and Bear is mostly white ... with some half black.
