Anyone know of a non toxic dye for animals?

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...

I agree - it isn't going to hurt them. And I know she'll be smart about it and will have their health and safety first.

I know you'd be careful about the dying, but I wouldn't do it because it would get over everything while the dye was drying.

Whatever you decide to use, even if it is a veggie-based dye, please do a test on a small area first, and make sure the 'nekkid kitties" don't have a reacction to it. Better safe than sorry, say I who am allergic to some veggies!

BC,

What I would like to know is WHY??? First of all, Ducky has crystals in his urine and is already stressed out. I think what you plan on doing is stupid, irresponsible and you need to think twice about it. These cats are not your accessories to do with what you feel like. Dyeing them is just plain ridiculous. If God wanted Sphynxes to be the colors of the rainbow, he would've made them that way. If you wanted a Sphynx with color, you could've easily gotten one from the breeder. Please, leave them the heck alone.

With all due respect Karen, "testing" a spot of the cat to make sure it is not sensitive to dyes??? We're talking about a live, precious animal, not a damn couch.

Again....Please don't do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I spent 20 yrs getting mine, and I would never risk her well being for a holiday.

I will re quote myself.

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.

I also said Haloween that's a month away and they should (fingers crossed) be cleared by then.

Why are you guys so against it? I am researching it and making sure it won't hurt them. I also planned on doing the little test spot on them.

With all due respect Karen, "testing" a spot of the cat to make sure it is not sensitive to dyes??? We're talking about a live, precious animal, not a damn couch.

So I take it as your one who is just against dyeing them all together.

[moosmom]

DUH!!! That's what I said. I am totally against it. Halloween is a VERY stressful time for cats. Why would you put them through that for your own entertainment.

[DrKym]

Totally against it.............buy a costume if not give them up

that's a bit harsh

[DrKym]

take it as 2 that are against dying them

[buttercup132]

Are you kidding me? You being totally rediculous.
ATTENTION: Everyone on PT if you have ever dyed your pets fur get rid of them cause CLEARLY it means you are a horrible owner and unsuitable to own them.
Give me a break, people do things you aren't going to like GET OVER IT!
Doesn't mean they are a bad person.

Halloween is a VERY stressful time for cats

I'm sure it is for cats that go out. Mine don't. I dont see how it will be any more stressfull for them as it would be a house dog or any other animal. It's not like I plan on taking them out.

[DrKym]

Grow up......my dogs don't go out but the amount of ppl increase.


I would not expose my Sphynx to more people than she is used to.she goes to work and to the Dr.s with me...... will definitely keep her away from the trick or treaters

[moosmom]

Halloween IS stressful for all pets, outdoors or in. The screaming kids, doorbell ringing, scary costumes. To DYE those precious babies for your own personal entertainment and amusement is just adding to the stress and not fair to the cats.
