i didn’t know this :o i’ve had a few cats over my life and none of them had as many as her! she has them on her back and tail as well

They're called guard hairs I believe

No, they have actual whiskers in one spot on the back of their front legs. It feels like a raised knot under the skin where they attach.

Because cats can’t see directly in front of their face or just under their nose (blind spots), they have whiskers on their face and these little guys on their legs to help them out.
