Please Explain

If it hasn't been banned from the U.S. dog shows, than obviously they don't see a big deal with trimming the animals whiskers. You can safely trim them as long as you do not cut too far down the whisker where the sensory nerves lay towards the ends, as with trimming their nails which is dangerous if you are not properly trained.

Current law states that animals are property (although many people are fighting to have this change so in law suits pain and suffering can be claimed for the animal) so the owners can have their whiskers trimmed as long as it hasn't been deemed painful to the animal resulting in abuse claims.

Is this right? Most people will say its not hurting the animal, having worked in a grooming salon I can tell you by the way the animals react they are not being harmed by a professional trimming their whiskers.

Steel - get a laserpointer. They are awesome fun. Move it just in front of the cat for about 5 mins and then put it on their chest. They get up on two paws. Absolute riot.

There was this commercial on for a Nokia cell-phone/vid camera (i think) where these guys attached a toy mouse to a string and tied it to a ceiling fan. Their cat walks in and sees it and jumps up to grab it. It's claws get caught and it spins around a few times then let goes and just flys into the wall. Try looking for it on kazaa, it is really hillarious.
