I like his short hair and whiskers. I think I'll go shave my cat entirely so he matches and see if YouTube has instructions how to declaw cats at home while I'm at it.
Just kidding, only trying to provoke the concern trolls in here.

While you’re there, see if there are any cat tattooing tutorials for me!
Lmfao! For all the people worried about me cutting my cats whiskers, he’s a sphynx. Those are his natural whiskers. As for what’s on his head, that was a whisker naturally shed from my other much more floofily endowed cat.
Feel free to check my other posts of these two idiots (said with love) if you want verification.
I was curious about the short whiskers (just seeing the post) - thanks for the update! People sure do love protecting the kitties!
Yeah no worries! And for sure. I never thought I could love a creature this much so I get it
I'm sorry you're getting so much grief for this. One of my cats has short little whiskers by her mouth and big long whisker eyebrows. Cats are weirdos by default and that's why we love them.
My grandmother's old two cat brothers used to eat each others whiskers off
Dont ever cut your cats wiskers.

From the article you linked:
When it comes to the shortest whiskers, the Sphynx usually has no whiskers at all or very short, brittle ones. As Sphynx cats tend to have a harder time fitting into small spaces, it’s best to keep them safe inside.
How do you know OP cut them?
Thats a good point. I don't.
Just saw the thick hair and assumed it was cut.
Ummm. Why the fuck would anyone even do that?
Why are you trimming your cats whiskers? This brings a lot of stress to your cat. Never do this.
He’s a sphynx, it’s my other cats whisker naturally shed.
Aside from the fact that the "whisker" looks completely edited, what's worse is if you zoom in, it looks as if someone has trimmed back this cat's real whiskers.
That must be a nightmare for this cat.
If you zoom in you can see thin whiskers, what makes you think they were trimmed?
He’s a sphynx, it’s my other cats whisker naturally shed.
Clearly it’s a transmitter. That cat is responsible for exactly 1/5th of all the weird shit you think about.
He can see through time!
Yes, yes, we've all seen the time knife

ESPN rents antenna space on that thing.
