I have encountered these little wooden boxes that people keep cat whiskers in. Very strange. Why save cat whiskers? What could these people be up to?If you ask me? It's a box and whisker plot!

@futurebird It's definitely a plot of some kind. Absolutely.

@MedeaVanamonde #PicaTheCat assures me cat whiskers are "magical" and "very valuable" but she also said that about NFTs... so...

@futurebird I don't know why I started saving my former cats whiskers but I did and then I made a little wood turned vase to hold them in on my lathe. I'm still saving whiskers that I find from my cats, but with a purpose now.I can use them to bewhisker my blobs

@futurebird I used to work with X ray crystal structures, and reading some of the manuscripts describing what researchers would try to get a good crystal to work with was something else.I recall reading a description that included using a cats whisker for part of the process! And I'm like "how did they figure that out?"

@futurebird I’ve been told that NZ’s professional moth taxonomist prefers to use a lion whisker when he mounts delicate moths.

@futurebirdFor witchcraft. Maybe they are used as ingredients in all sorts of magic potions.
