I love your painted kitty!

LOL, thanks!  In my defense, I'm a Devils fan, but it's H's premarital cat and he's a Ranger's fan.  He's been talking about me doing this since we met over 2 years ago, so I finally did tonight.  It was hilarious.  I'm glad Neptune (that's the cat) is such a mush.  If I tried it with one of the others, I'd be torn to ribbons.

I love those photos of cats that have been professionally painted!  Type in "painted cats" in google images.

I've seen those.  They're fun!  I think some are airbrush, but some are actually photoshop, unfortunately.  Painting Neptune was the one time I wished I did airbrush.

Well, airbrush him next time!  Now that I know of your new hidden talent, I will expect a Neptune photo for each holiday/season!  Are you up for it?

I was going to start a post about your kitty too.  So darn cute.  I don't think mine would stay still long enough.

LOL, I doubt I'm ever doing this again.  I used Snazaroo, which is the most safe makeup on the planet - child toy safety rated & all - and the least likely to stain... but he's still got some on there; I've been furminating him like crazy.

And painting fur sucks.  It keeps moving and it sucks up a LOT of the face paint & water.

He's such a mush he didn't mind, and he still loves me (slept on my stomach last night as usual), but it's too much trouble and doesn't come out like I pictured.

H is happy & posted it on FB, of course... and all his Ranger fan friends are in love with it... but I'll stick to the skin.

And no, I'm not shaving the cat!  LOL
