My cat is missing the whiskers on top of his eyes. Will he walk into something and give himself a

concussion?

1. How did he lose them?

He should be OK, he still has his other whiskers, and unless he's walking around in pitch darkness he'll be able to see where he's going.

2. I don't know how he lost the ones over one eye. He has short ones there

so maybe they just fell out naturally.

3. Our female cat has short whiskers over her right eye.

I was just noticing this last week, but I think I've noticed it before, years ago. Nevertheless, she's more graceful than the male who has all his whiskers.
