whiskerless

/ˈhwɪskɝləs/ adj

Without whiskers.

Word Origin Whisker comes from whisk, originally 'a sweeping motion' — think of a whisk broom. A whisker is something that sweeps or brushes, like the bristly hairs on an animal's face. Whiskerless means lacking whiskers. The suffix -less is from Old English '-lēas', from Proto-Germanic 'lausaz' 'loose, devoid of'. So whiskerless is literally 'whisker-loose'.
