LOL...he should be fine :O))
I have to tell U I have a MOM who insists on eating off almost every kitten in her litters whiskers
She is a Mega MOM who does not leave her box even to eat,I feed her in the box and the litter box gets but in side as well.She is over the top.
Even tried to pull them out of the litter box when they are old enough to try and use it.............I read Mother Animals will do this to cut down on the babies sence of feel in order to keep them close.
My Vet has always said do NOT worry they will grow back. If baby is doing well other wise do not fret :O))))
