GUESS WHO JUST GOT A NEW WHISKER FOR THEIR COLLECTION???????????!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

AAAAAAAA! I loooooove cat whiskers and I've been waiting for months for our cats to shed another one

I also have to make sure i get there before my family because they'll just throw them away the monsters. Cat whiskers are the best and you should protect them with your life. My collection holds exactly:

12 pure white whiskers

2 pure black whisker

8 mostly white whisker with a hint of black

22 whiskers in total! :D

I've been collecting them since I was five, although I only started keeping them in a specific collection box when I was thirteen. I have whiskers from our previous two cats, our two current cats, my grandma's late cat, and one from my cousin's cat. Apparently no one in my family knew this about me until I cried "YOU THREW IT AWAY???" in the most devastated voice ever to my brother when he told me found a cat whisker and threw it away. That was about five-ish years ago. A few years after that the rest of my family found out when my dad pointed out a whisker on a chair and I said "REALLY?! :D" and jumped up and snatched it.

They've asked me why I collect cat whiskers multiple times. Each time I try to explain that I like running them over my face and arms and tickling myself with them and when they try to say it's impossible to tickle yourself I end with a frustrated "It just makes me happy."

Is it really only me who can tickle myself? I mean no, I'm not rolling on the floor struggling to breathe, but I do start to get this big goofy grin as I slap the area I was just tickling and rub it rub to get rid of the sensation. And then I start all over again. Is this seriously not a common occurrence? I've tried to tell myself it's impossible to tickle myself and yet every time I run the whisker or the tips of my fingers over my arms, I end up getting tickled.

Anyways, happy whisker day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DD
