whiskers
Cat's tactile hairs
Whiskers are the long, stiff hairs growing near the mouth of cats, dogs, and other mammals—sensory organs that detect surroundings.
On humans, whiskers are facial hair, especially on the cheeks: He hadn't shaved in days and had quite the whiskers.
Something that wins or loses by a whisker does so by the slimmest margin.
