A cat's whiskers are very important as they work with the cat's sense of smell. You may notice that if a cat detects an odor the whiskers will move along with the cat's nose. Whiskers are also eye protection by feeling something sharp or large near the face which produces the cat's eyes to blink.
I have heard that a cat uses the whiskers to measure a space to see if he will fit into the space but I am not sure if this is true or not.
Your cat's orientation and motions can be impaired by loss of the whiskers. They will grow out again. Please let your bf know that the cat has whiskers for a reason and they should not be cut.
