Cats Have Whiskers On Their Legs. The whiskers on their front legs help them to calculate the position of their prey. They help cats to figure out how large a prey animal is and where exactly it is located, useful for a shortsighted animal like a cat.

Cats have special sensory organs called proprioceptors located at the ends of their whiskers. As you can see, a cat's whiskers are extremely important because they are sensory organs. Additionally, these animals have the carpal whiskers located on the back side of their legs, just beneath their wrist or above their paws.
