20 Cats with Whiskers So Wonderfully Wild They Could Double as Fireworks

We don't know if we have made it obvious from the things that we write all day every day for our jobs, but… we love cats. Like a lot. We love everything about them. And we pride ourselves on knowing the lingo of the cat world. We are proud that we know about what airplane ears are - it's when cats tuck their adorable little ears in opposite directions to listen to something. We are proud to know what purritos are - it's when you wrap your cat up in a blanket like a burrito. We are proud to know what Autodromkatzerl kittens are - it's newborn kittens whose tail sticks up like the contact pole on a bumper car.

And yet somehow, even with all of our expertise, we did not not realize that in the cat world, there is a term for cats that have meowjestic whiskers. More meowjestic than you have ever imagined. It's simple but accurate. They are called "fireworks".

Honestly, we don't think that we have ever seen cats with such impressive whiskers before. We thought our cat's whiskers were adorable, but all of these are not a different level. We understand why the internet calls them fireworks, we really do.

It's good to know that they literally never grow into their whiskers. If they start long, they will only get longer, and your cat will end up looking like some very wise character from a video game along the way. We love it.
