# I see it now
Apparently, cats use their whiskers to judge how wide a space is. With no whiskers, there's a chance that they may get stuck in tight spaces.

# does this help?
The structure of the brain region (barrel cortex) which receives information from the vibrissae (whiskers) is similar to that found in the visual cortex which permits the cat to create a three dimensional map of its surroundings. This doesn't mean that sensing with vibrissae is a type of vision. It is still a touch sensation and environmental information is built up incrementally (in small steps).[11][12][13][14]

Vibrissae aid sensation and navigation. The upper two rows of whiskers are able to be moved independently from the lower two rows for greater precision during measurement. A cat's whiskers are more than twice as thick as ordinary cat hairs, and their roots are three times deeper in a cat's tissue than other hairs. They have numerous nerve endings at their base, which give cats extraordinarily detailed information about nearby air movements and objects with which they make physical contact. They enable a cat to know that it is near obstacles without it needing to see them.

cf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_senses#Touch

Edit: perhaps not. Cats with whisker-damage often get stuck in small spaces eg. behind the couch. I personally believe that the best kind of jokes are the ones that require explanation.

# ahhhh
or you could have just said, she got stuck in a small space
I think people assumed she was pissed or sexy tieming - or at least that's my usual reason for being behind the sofa
