My husband dyed our cat's white spots pink for Valentine's Day, and put eyeliner on her with black dye

Question

My husband dyed our cat's white spots pink for Valentine's Day, and put eyeliner on her with black dye
He used food coloring on the white parts, but I can't get it off ... I gave her 3 baths, and I have suspicions he may have used something more permanent. The eyeliner does look good, but not natural.

Anyone have any ideas how to get this stuff off?

The cat is not sick at all, food coloring is safe.

Answer 1

Somebody said this was not a marriage and divorce issue, but it very well might be.

Kitty will have pink spots until the fur grows out. It's a good thing she is a female cat.

You should dye your husband's wanger green while is is sleeping if you want to carry this issue to the next level.

Answer 2

There is a book about people that actually paint their cats with food coloring and the results are amazing. The book mentions that the cats groom it away, and it sheds off in about four months. As for the eyeliner, you might want to make (maybe an annonymous!) call to a vet and ask what is the safest way to remove it. I would hate for your cat to get an eye infection. He didn't use your eyeliner, right? And if he did, you threw it away and didn't use it, right?

Answer 3

Well--I think he may have gone a little over-board here, but the food coloring is not going to hurt her. PLUS, this will gradually lighten during her grooming rituals. It will take a little time, as food coloring is very permanent and almost impossible to remove, but it will lighten and finally go away, and this may take over 6 months. A cats saliva is a very powerful "stain remover", too. Just a little word of wisdom: Why not color YOUR HUBBY pink for next Valentines day and leave the cat alone??

Answer 4

If you're sure that whatever he used is safe for the cat, then you'll just have to let it wear off. Something about that really disturbs me though. Seems sort of cruel and unatural, but eh, it's your cat. Just make sure she's healthy. Giving her more baths would just upset her at this point.

Answer 5

eyeliner on a cat that doesnt sound healthy for the cat take her to the vets and get it washed off as for the food coluring shell probaly just lick that off. this is really odd and your husbond has too much time on his hands

Answer 6

HEH....don't worry it will naturally come off. But be careful giving a cat so many baths. You will upset the natural oil process of their skin causing problems down the line.

We used to tye-dye our white rabbits at girl scouts all the time. It really does not hurt them at all. If it does come down to her having a rash or her eyes begin to look red, call the vet immediately.

Answer 7

wat hahaha that horrible but i love it i did that to he may have yoused sharpie or somthing okay that would be mean go to the vet and ask for a kitty soap that works really good on fur and will get stians and stuff off that she or him got on her while playing so the vet doesnt freak out haha hope i helped but it was sweet of ur husband haha even if the cat is flippping out

Answer 8

Quit trying to get it off.
The cat probably dislikes the cure a lot more than the coloring.
In time it will go away.
In the meantime you can point out how stupid a move that was.

Answer 9

before you try to remove all that stuff, dont you think the cat should first hit the town for a bit of dancing and partying...you know how crappy it can be when your all dressed up with no place to go...im thinking your husband may love to escort ms. kitty on that date..just check his breath when they return, if it smells lilke tuna well...ummm......~~~

Sounds like your husband needs a hobby.
