Ya know what, you seem to be hell bent on doing it anyways, no matter what is said here. So be it. Let's just agree to disagree, okay? I'm done here.
Catty1,
I have the book Why Paint Cats and found it very amusing. And you're right, the cats are dyed on their fur, not their skin. My favorite picture is the one with Charlie Chaplin on the cats butt.
Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever.

Cat got your tongue?
Actually, the cats were not "painted" at all...Originally Posted by moosmom
Painted CatsI'm happy to report that there is no cause for anger or alarm. Though the cats are real, the paint jobs are not. Most if not all of the lovingly Photoshopped images came from a tongue-in-cheek volume entitled Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics (Ten Speed Press, 2002), written by New Zealanders Burton Silver and Heather Busch, the same pair responsible for the equally deadpan Why Cats Paint (1994) and Dancing with Cats (1999).

Crazy-Cat-Lover - you are right! This book is a sequel to one I have that ALMOST had me fooled: "Why Cats Paint" (notice similarity in the title?)
Have attached a page from Snopes that explains this in more detail.

Wow, I'm flabbergasted. And outraged. The book was written as total fact. Even if they has said something in the end of the book on the very last page in the tiniest print i wouldn't have cared.
I have seen such outrageous hairdos on people and dogs alike, and the methods they mention do actually exist out there. (I was talking to someone who just went to a beauty academy.)
If it weren't for this book though, i myself never would have dreamed of one day getting my hair dyed. I can at least be grateful for that.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
