Zoe ,'War Stories'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.
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.
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?
why deliberately color the cat?I think only Sean's GF, who isn't on the board, could answer that. IIRC Sean had specifically told her not to.
Anyway, Sean, I did some research just to make sure, and (although perhaps humiliating) the Sharpie does not seem to be harmful to pets, even if ingested. I thought you'd want to know in case you were worried about the kitty. Obviously I hope S. chooses not to do it again, but I was relieved to see that there's no harm done.
Actually, my flatmate did the same thing a few months ago, with paint. I went ballistic, but the cat was fine, and I felt like a bit of an eejit for overreacting. In retrospect, I feel a bit more entitled to go ballistic, because although the cat was fine, it could have been A Bad Thing.
Anyway, I'm sure that S wouldn't have done this with any conscious intention of harming the kitty, any more than I think my flatmate did, and I'm relieved to hear that Sharpie ink isn't dangerous to pets.
I remember when I was little I'd put doll clothes on our cat ... which was actually more dangerous for my health than hers.
Very glad to hear that toxicity is a non-issue. And, as much as I love and adore cats, I'd have to assume that taste would be a non-issue as well, given that these are creatures fully capable of (whitefonted for extreme yet depressingly routine feline grossness) eating everything from bugs to their own vomit to their stillborn offspring, and who can happily spend 20 minutes at a time licking their own assholes. "Overrefined supertaster" is not the first phrase that comes to mind when one ponders what a cat might or might not find palatable.
