Paint Your... Cat

My daughter sent me an e-mail with about a dozen painted cats.
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!!


Now, I figure in this day and age when there are millions of children, cats, and dogs... not to mention human adults who are literally starving, I would be very darned embarrassed to publicly exhibit the proof that I had nothing better to do with my money than paint my poor cat.
Maybe some people really have no shame.

  2. this one just hurts my brain. First thought is that would not be a happy cat. Second is to agree with you that it's a collosal waste of money.

  3. People who are stupid enough to paint a cat have no shame about flaunting what they do with their money. Let's gather them up and paint them. I'll do it for free. Won't be artistic but it will make them as uncomfortable as it does the cat.

  4. Not to squash your righteous outrage or anything, but these are from a book called "Why Paint Cats"--It's a total spoof. No one paints their cats.

    Check it out on Snopes.com. Use the link below or search "Painted Cats" in the Snopes search box.

  5. ACKKKKK!!!! If you want a spotted cat, get a calico. For Pete's sake...

    And just a thought here, but I'm assuming this paint is non-digestible to cats. Does that mean when they poo, they poo in technicolor?
