I got a hit from a Google search for "cat whisker eating death". I vaguely recall an urban legend that, a cat whisker being stiff, eating one with cause death from peritonitis because it will poke holes in the intestines. However, as Nezumi-chan usually spends several hours each night sleeping next to me, I've probably swallowed several whiskers (not to mention less savory cat by-products) by now. No disceernable ill effects yet. If I live through the night, I'll let you know. John "Akatsukami" Braue Wednesday, June 05, 2002 |
