🇬🇧🇪🇸 whisker - bigote : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "whisker" ("bigote"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A whisker is one of the long, stiff hairs that stick out from an animal’s face, like a cat or mouse, and help it feel what’s around it—kind of like tiny super-sensitive fingers on its cheeks.
My cat’s whisker tickled my nose so much that I sneezed and scared her into doing a backflip off the couch.
I told my brother not to touch the cat’s whiskers, so of course he touched them and got the ‘Angry Fluffy’ stare of doom.
If my cat’s whiskers were any longer, she’d have to turn sideways to get through the door.
I tried to give my teddy bear whiskers with a marker, and now he looks like a retired rock star.
Real cats use their whiskers to measure if they can fit through spaces—if the whiskers fit, the rest of the cat usually can squeeze through too!
The small cat crept into a dark box; a whisker brushed the edge, a whisker tapped the cardboard. It reached with a whisker, found a lost marble, nudged it, then felt air with another whisker and pulled back. The child laughed, lifted the cat; each whisker shivered and the kitten curled, happy and safe.
