Top cat whisker issues

An update. I contacted Quirey and explained my issue. The owner stated there was a change in materials about 5 or so years ago. I ended up having to buy all four inner cat whiskers because it had been so long.

The new top cat whiskers are perfect. Same thickness as the originals. The set I had from 2015 are actually an 1/8 inch thicker than the originals/new replacements.
