Painted Kitties

[DAPER DAWG]

My mom sent me an email with these painted kitties in it but it didn't have a link to where the pictures came from so I copied them into photobucket. Let's see if this works. Too cool. I can't even get a flea collar on my cat. Go figure.

I'm flipping out here...

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen! You got to have your Mom find the link for that site. Truely amazing colors...how did they do that?

That was amazing. There are some very talented people out there. I may need to get my hands on my daughter's cat.

I would love to know how they did that and what they used! I would love to put that stuff on my cats!

Those photo's come from a book titled "Why Paint Cats" The ethics of feline asthesthetics Burton Silver/Heather Busch ,Ten Speed press 2002

Thanks Doggone - that would be a cool book to have. Do you know what they use to paint them. Bio-Pens. That's a lot of detail. I wonder how they get them to stay still that long.

whole lotta mulah!!

The book these came from said some of the paint jobs cost $15,000 and had to be repeated every 3 months as the cat's hair grows out.? Must be nice to have $60,000 a year just to keep your cat painted!

I looked it up on snopes.com and it said they weren't really painted. Except maybe by a computor! LOL! They couldn't get a strait answer from the author of the book it seems.
I know I have never met a cat that would let that be done, unless it was sedated maybe!

Unbelievable

I, too, was amazed that cats would stay still for such a long time to be painted like that. Mine would NEVER tolerate it.
