PUSSY’S WHISKERS
(Sent in by Sheila Stewart, 32 Main’s Avenue, Whangarci. Age 14.) Your cat would look funny without whiskers, and would be very inconvenienced, too, for they arc there for a purpose. Perhaps you have wondered how it is a cat knows whether a small opening is wide enough for him to pass through-—for nobody has ever seen a cat stuck. This is because his whiskers are just as wide as his body, and as they are very sensitive, he knows in a moment that if his whiskers touch the wall each side, it would be too small a space to get through. —(Copied.)
