If I find a whisker anywhere in the house, I have an Altoids tin I keep it in. I'm not sure why I keep them--sentimental reasons, I guess? There are whiskers of now departed cats inside.
With one exception, I don't share or use the whiskers. Once I gave a friend a few of them to use for marbling paper (I guess you can make interesting patterns with whiskers).
Of course! I used to save them in an envelope, but when my precious Red Boy died and I used the fur combings I had saved to make a little stuffed doll (stuffed with his fur saved over the years I mean), I started putting found whiskers in the kitty shaped doll.
Yes, I have them folded into a piece of paper in my jewelry box and a picture in my head of an avant garde piece of jewelry with leather and cat's whiskers. I'l probably never make it since I still have my dead parakeet's feathers in a jar (they were going to be earrings).
I thought I was the only one! I have a little box of whiskers, too. Two of my cats have plain white whiskers. The third has white whiskers with brown tips where they were in the skin. So I can't tell the other two apart, but I always know his.

Does anyone else keep their cats' whiskers?
No, I don't. But I think I'll start.
Thanks Rene, I needed another thing to be OCD about.
I don't, but ... I saw on one of the cat Facebook groups I'm in where a cat mom put her cats' whiskers into a tiny bottle with a narrow neck, making a whisker bouquet of sorts. It was kinda cute.
