Is a little bit of paint bad for a kitten?

Question

I have this book that I fill in about my kitten like coloring, age, behavior, etc. Well one is for the paw prints. When she was younger I could paint it no problem but just today I went to paint it and she didn't like it so I stopped and now she is l*****g her paw. I got off most of the paint but she is still l*****g. She is 4 months old, she is going to be okay?

Answer 1

hopefully you used the type of paint that we use to get hand and foot prints from babies or finger paint.... if you did you shouldn't have that much of a problem ...she just doesn't like paint on her paws... cats are real clean animals and paint on paws I mean come on!!

Answer 2

When my cat was real young I was painting a mural of him on the wall. I was using acrylic paint. I noticed little orange footprints on the floor, and I realized he had knocked over the container I was using and he had a little paint on his paw and leg. I immediately put him in the sink, and used warm water and baby shampoo to get it out. It worked just fine, I followed up with my vet and they said that was a good thing to do in a paint emergency. It really depends on the kind of paint, how much, and how you're getting it off. You're kitty should be fine if it was just a little. I certainly hope so!

Answer 6

Depends on what kind of paint it is. Some acrylic paints are non-toxic. Check the pot! If she seems normal than shes ok!
