My cat has curly whiskers. Is this normal, or did she get it from me?

I noticed this a few days ago about Miss Kitty. I have natural curl in my hair, & since I've had her, & raised her since she was 5,6 wks old, & is now 10 yrs old, her whiskers have a curl to them. Never seen this before. Is it natural 4 her 2 take on my traits even down 2 my natural curly hair ?

This is very cute! No, there is no way for Miss Kitty to have adopted your hair texture :). This is just part of her individual genetics. I have naturally curly hair too, so congratulations on having hair that looks different every day!
