They are part of the cat's sensory organs. Helps with judging the size of small areas they are trying to fit into or through. Cut them off and your cat can get disorientated and trapped.

It doesn't really help directly with balance, but it does help a cat to orient itself relative to it's surroundings. Much like the 'curb feelers' your grandpa might have on his old Buick, they tell the cat , for example, how wide an opening is, or how close to the wall they are, etc.

Sensors, it tells them if their head and body will fit in the hole they are looking into, and if they are getting to close to the edge of danger......

it helps them know if they're going to fit into something, like a hole in a gate
