no it's not true, however, it will not be able to gauge it's body width (which is what wiskers are there for anyway)... they also are PACKED with nerve receptors, so cutting off the wiskers can be painful to your feline friend.

Do not trim a cat's whiskers. Whiskers are part of what they use to get around, and you're basically depriving a cat of one of its senses if you do that. If you trim your cat's whiskers and your cat ever goes outdoors, it is much more at risk from predators or accidents because it will be more easily disoriented. If your cat is an indoor pet, it is more likely to run into things in the dark and get hurt.

Cat's use their whiskers for a lot of things.They use them to see if they can get in places. Any damage to a cats whiskers will cause it discomfort and he can become confused and disoriented.

Probably will. Cats gauge distance with their whiskers.
