Oh, I'll tell him you said that :p

He's quite handsome is our J. Must get a pic of him at some point. Probably holding Merlot ;p

Talking of which : Here's little Merlot

They're cute, alright, but don't you think you should find a breed that has more than one eye?

I've shaved my pussy.

Stupid DizCat McStupid Cat managed to get painted.
Dads is slowly painting the woodwork (skirting boards, stair rails etc) and Diz has miraculously avoided any paint so far.

But this afternoon he turned up with a huge splodge of white paint on his hindquarters.
Now there might be a safe way to remove paint from cats, but I wasn't willing to risk giving him even an extra minute to try and lick it off.
Snip, snip, snip with the scissors, then a little razor work.

Singas have less layers of fur than other cats, so it looks more dramatic. Of course because of the missing layers the paint was close to his skin, so it really was a hack-job.

I'd rather the boy looks like he has the mange than get anything bad in his mouth.
Serves him right, the silly sod.
At least he can lick his shorn pride without having to go to the vet.

What type of paint was it? Water or oil based?

Did you try wiping it off or using water?

[Sundae]

I have no idea.
It's called Moisture Resistant Acrylic Eggshell Emulsion.

I did try to clean it at first - of course. I'm not a monster.
And I tried with a weak detergent solution (washing up liquid).
Nothing doing.

Boy is snipped now. Better than being sick.

Absolutely.

Moisture Resistant Acrylic Eggshell Emulsion.

Oil based. That wasn't coming off without your using something far worse than the paint itself.

Ahem....
Acrylic= water based. Just sayin. Soap and water would have done it. Or just water for that matter.

Far away cousindigr's kitteh. I'm told she makes that jump quite easily. FYI, that's six and a half feet.

[Sundae]

Water wasn't doing it.
Washing up liquid and water wasn't doing it.
Maybe I should have persevered.

But in truth I have not hurt him in clipping off some of his fur.
It's sartorially drastic, but not dangerous.

Which isn't to say I'm not interested in solutions [sic] if it happens again.

[infinite monkey]

His fur will grow back. Yikes. My brother gets his golden retriever shaved every summer and it's all back by fall.

Not like they're all embarrassed about it.

I think one of my kittehs got paint on him and he didn't even know it was there. It dried and eventually wore away.

That kitteh was on crack, or xanax, or sumpin'! Slick goes after even the tiniest thing in his fur. Gets positively mental.

He was a pothead.

The Mighty Hunter, returning with his prey.

I'm on the porch saying, "Good Kitty, Levi, you are an awesome hunter. Now, you take that little corpse home to daddy and then you can come back for your treats."

He did. He's a good boy.

[Sundae]

Grav that pic is gorgeous!

Sorry to ride roughshod over it with my mad-cat-paint-shave-story.

Infi - the patch was large.
I worried.
I'd snatch him bald-headed rather than have another desperate run to the vets. Because I love him so much.

Ahem and because it cost so much money last time.

[infinite monkey]

You did the exact right thing, honey.

Diz knows he's loved.
