Ok, apropos of nothing... on the few occasions I have used hair colouring, the instructions ALWAYS say to try a small amount on part of my skin...which I never do. So yes, human skin can be pre-tested.

BC, you had some really cute costumes for them. Did you change your mind on them?

I did some reading up on this...some folks suggest Kool-aid without the sugar. A really good one I saw was to have an animal groomer do it, or at least get the dyes from there.

Here is a really good link with points of view from all sides; please read at least the first 12 replies: http://www.whypaintcats.com/

HOWEVER - all this stuff is about the dye on cat's FUR. Please check with at least a professional groomer about using this on Milo and Duck. Skin might be a totally different thing, and I know you love your babies. Just make sure!
