The usual answer is that the whiskers +are feelers that enable a cat to tell whether a gap is wide enough for +it to squeeze through, but the truth is more complicated and more +remarkable. In addition to their obvious role as feelers sensitive to +touch, the whiskers also operate as air-current detectors. As the cat +moves along in the dark it needs to manoeuvre past solid objects without +touching them. Each solid object it approaches causes slight eddies in +the air, minute disturbances in the currents of air movements, and the +cat's whiskers are so amazingly sensitive that they can read these air +changes and respond to the presence of solid obstacles even without +touching them. + =head2 v5.26.2-RC1 - Desmond Morris, "Catwatching: The Essential Guide to Cat Behaviour" L<Announced on 2018-03-24 by Steve Hay|http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2018/03/msg250103.html> @@ -557,6 +573,21 @@ L<Announced on 2016-05-09 by Ricardo Signes|http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.
