the FUCK?
Why would anyone take ink - which is possibly toxic to an animal - and smear it all over an animal? Why is that supposed to be funny? I missed something.
Having known three animals - two cats, one dog - who died after licking toxic substances off themselves, I can't find a single thing amusing about this.
Backing out of thread rapidly before I say something not forgiveable.
deb, most Sharpies are non-toxic, so the kitty ought to be fine.
Seanie, she's a designer. These things are bound to happen.

Non-toxic to humans is not necessarily non-toxic to animals. And in any case, would you be willing to scribble all over your own tongue with it? Revel in the taste? Allow someone you trust to scribble all over your tongue with it? Cats wash themselves.
Jesus. Outta here for a while.

How about write on my hands and then eat with them, because both willing and have. And, while I wouldn't on my tongue because it likely wouldn't tase very good, my only concern with having it on my lips would be that it would be there for an embarassingly long time.
Hadn't really thought about the licking part, I admit. My curiousity about what it looked like got me first; I'm not actually a proponent of artificially coloring animals. The request for a photo was pretty crass on my part - sorry, Sean.
I actually think it's funny, and it's in a place he can't lick, nor easily groom. I'm sure he'll be fine, I don't think the request for photos was crass, and I fully plan on posting them later tonight.
How do you feel about painting a dog?
I probably be opposed to that, but in Ollie's case, it will probably be good for him.

You should paint his balls with Ritalin so he gets his daily dose.
Phew! OK, good, I'm glad I didn't offend you.
I'm not a cat/pet person, but I gotta say that I agree with Deb on this. I mean, if the cat had marked himself with the sharpie, that would be funny, but why deliberately color the cat?
