What is the trick with the Cat Wiskers?

Is there a trick to getting the outside rubber and inside cat wickers off
with out destroying them?

Those little clips are crazy things!

By design, they always seem to get bent beyond repair when removing. Luckily they are cheap to buy.

Re: What is the trick with the Cat Wiskers?

Re: What is the trick with the Cat Wiskers?

My main man around here who is 82, and knows all, and still works in the
garage all day on his chev truck and SWEET cars calls them cat wiskers.
So I go with what he says..


Pic of his wrecker he drives to haul the parts out of his yard...
When the bees sting him he eats the fn bee..... man he is the best..

Here kitty kitty kitty.....

Re: What is the trick with the Cat Wiskers?

I'm not sure I would try pulling the whiskers from that cat. I mean, I do have limits, And that one looks pretty nasty.
