Animals use their whiskers to tell when they are near something, as the whisker hairs hit things before the animal's face does. Cats have the most well-known whiskers. The cat in the picture is yawning, and you can clearly see its whiskers.

A wig is just some fake hair. You can get wigs in almost any colour, either brightly coloured ones like in the picture, or natural coloured ones that look like real hair. Some people wear wigs for fun, others wear them because they are bald and don't want other people to know.
