I guess not exactly a dye but maybe a marker or something.
Like breeders use on puppies to tell them apart.

maybe some vegetal paint?...... or something that is very gentle..... what do you need it for?..... or anything thatīs non toxic for kids
I was just going to put it on the hairless kitties for Haloween like when people do it to their dogs.
Kool Aide. make it up into a thick goo and apply...the food coloring in it will dye anything.
maybe you can try some hypoalergenic makeup.... one thatīs not harmful towards their skin...... or some food vegatable paint (the one used to dye cakes) it might work...... or some water based non toxic crayola paint/marker......
although Iīm not sure...... but you can check those out, perhaps ask to the company....
BC,
Just dress them up. I think you'll do more harm than good trying to "paint" them (stress wise). JMO.
My understanding is that Manic Panic and Punky Colors are both veggie-based dyes. I've heard of some people using those on their animals. Best to double check though. :)
I think Jordan/Wolfsoul also used dyes at their grooming shop, she might be a good person to ask.
Please dont dye them!! Just dress them up. LJ loves her clothes and since I wouldn't dye my kids I certainly wouldn't dye her................
I used that on My sons mohawk, for the 4th of july. It dried out his scalp something horrible. I will never use it again. not to mention the fact that it got on everything his head touched, after we completely washed his hair.:eek:Quote:

I say, if you really want to color them, color them. Any cat I've met doesn't like clothes any more than they like getting wet! You aren't hurting them, so go for it.
Let the flogging begin...
Please do not use make up of any kind! Cats are groomers and the "eat" anything onn their skin. So if you insist on doing this, make sure it is something edible for cats.
Costumes are MUCH better idea.
But being as mine are hairless they are used to weekly baths and daily dressings.Quote:

That's why I was thinking something for puppies because the mom's clean them too.Quote:

:eek: I won't try that then!Quote:

I'll see if my mom will order some of that veggie dye.
Thanks guys.
I undertsand why some people are saying no, some people don't agree some people don't just like some people think it's rediculous to put clothes on your animals.
Again Please don't!
I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as the dye or whatever you put on your animal isn't toxic. I think when Sassy was a puppy there was purple dye on her(only a little) for the breeder thing. My dad died a small stripe on her once, a red white and blue one for the 4th of July when we went to see my grandma in the nursing home. She really got a good laugh outta that.
I've had a hard time finding Manic Panic in Canada but Punky Colors (also veggie-based) is available in Shoppers :)Quote:
