Is it normal for cats to loose one of their whiskers?

Question

I noticed that my 2 year old female cat have just lost one of her whiskers. just one..
So is this one of those natural aging signs as my cat becomes an adult, or is this abnormal?

Thanks you for your help! :)

Yes, this is normal. Cat whiskers shed and new ones are growing in. Every once in awhile I will find a whisker in the house from one of my 4 cats. Nothing to worry about.

It's normal.  I have several cats and I often find whiskers.  My cats range in age from 2 months to 3 years.
