We want to paw-print our cat so we can have the actual print when he dies. How can we paw-print him safely?

Question

Our cat is dying of cancer and we want to "paw print" him so we can have the actual paw-print for use as artwork on a memorial urn or stone, or maybe as a tattoo when he dies.

We just want a flat paw-print, not a mould (like in clay etc.) of the paw.

We don't want to make him ill with the ink on his paw that he will l**k off.

How can we paw-print him safely?

Answer 1

You should be able to use non-toxic finger paints. Pour a little bit into a shallow pan, dip your cat's paw into it, then make the imprint on paper. Afterwards, wipe the finger paint off of his paw with a damp cloth.

Answer 2

ask the vet or any pet shops

Answer 3

im not sure if this is safe for animals. its safe for toddlers, but if you go to a toy store, they have kits that are easy enough for kids 5 years and up but its also easy to clean. i may suggest putting vasoline on his paw before doing it so it wont mess his fur up.

Answer 4

how about using food die or other natural courings e.g. ketchup etc. btw im sorry to hear he is dying of cancer. My cat had to be put t sleep earlier this year and i made an urn out of pottery for her ashes.
