Whisker stress refers to the discomfort or pain that animals, particularly cats and some rodents, may experience when their sensitive whiskers come into contact with narrow or confined spaces. Whiskers are highly sensitive tactile hairs that help animals navigate their environment, and when they are overstimulated or restricted, it can lead to stress and anxiety. This can manifest in behaviors such as reluctance to eat from narrow bowls or avoidance of certain areas. Providing cats with wider food dishes and ensuring they have ample space can help alleviate whisker stress.
