Cats Question

Does anyone know what the whiskers above a cat's eyes (like eyebrows) are called?

I've asked several people, and no one seems to know. So far, we've come up with just whiskers, eyebrows, antennae, and feelers, but I suspect none of these are the correct term.
Do you call them anything special, or do you know the correct term for them?

All cats whiskers are called "vibrissae". That is the technical term. Better late than never. I hope you enjoy your day!!! :)
