How many cat owners save whiskers?

I thought it was just me, but several other cat owners I know do save the shed whiskers also. Mine are in a nice blue bottle, I used to just put them in the paperclip section of my desk drawer but we upscaled.

Just wondering if anyone else here does the same thing with the ones they find on the floor?

BTW, they DO have a use! If you paint miniatures they're the only thing small and stiff enough to put the pupils on the metal figures when you're detailing them. Use the muzzle end of the whisker. They work better than toothpics or tiny brushes.

    Wow, I never thought about that! What a clever way to use them. I've saved particularly long ones - especially from Mocha my RagaMuffin - but most often just toss them. Maybe I should set them aside and mail them to you once in awhile? Certainly wouldn't cost much postage LOL

    I don't, but I'm an artist, and that painting thing sounds like a good idea. :)

    Maybe I'll start saving my cat's whiskers!

    Well, I never even thought of it even though I do see one on the floor from time to time.

    Your use is a innovative one.

    If you do any art on fabric and need very fine lines or dots let me recommend Sakura Pigma Micron pens. They come in varying nib widths and types and in several permanent (on fabric and other materials) colors:

    Another item you might find useful for metal is the BRUSH toothpicks. Lots more uses than cleaning between your teeth. The brush part is on the sides making them ideal for cleaning between all sorts of jammed together objects and could also be used for getting paint between edges of adjoining things.

    To answer directly, I'd say very few cat owners save whiskers.
