When a cat's whiskers are touched, it is primarily the somatosensory cortex in the temporal lobe that processes this sensory input. The somatosensory cortex is responsible for interpreting touch sensations, including those from the whiskers. This area helps the cat respond to stimuli by twitching or adjusting its behavior based on the tactile feedback.
