Tattooing Your Cat

July 15th 2009 19:21
Although, it's perfectly normal to ear tattoo your dog or notch the ear of a feral cat after spaying, it's strange to see a Sphinx cat with a tattoo of an Egyptian god tattooed on its chest. Anyway... I like it... Cute picture whether it's real or fake.

Just remember that it is not safe to go to a tattoo artist to have such an image tattooed on your pet. If real (which I highly doubt) a highly skilled professional much be sought out.



And check out the tribal Sphinx:



Seems like people really like to decorate their Sphinx cats. I think I'd prefer my cat to be untouched. It's safer that way, as no mishaps can occur from anesthesia, the actual tattooing process, or with the aftercare of the tattoo. IE. it'd be a pain to go to the vet because you're cat's giant tribal tattoo got infected, is rejecting, or is fading because your cat's rough tongue is licking the giant wound. And, since you can't bandage a healing tattoo on a person, it only goes to say that you can't do the same for a cat, which means an open wound WILL be licked.

Quite the eye-opener, thanks for posting this Whitney! Definitely not for my cats - I prefer the natural look (and, incidentally, the furry look!) but each to their own... what do you think the cats themselves think of it? Would they be concerned about this new design that appeared on them out of nowhere, or would it not bother them at all?

I think this is nothing short of cruelty and abuse. I have no problem with people tattooing themselves but to put an animal through pain for no reason other than decoration is just as bad as tail docking.

It may look interesting but the owner of those cats are incredibly selfish.

I tend to agree with Cheryl - of course the cat would be under anaesthesia during the actual tattooing process, but isn't there some residual pain after a tattoo has been done (I wouldn't know)?

If the cats can speak, they might probably say, "Stop it, do you know that it's really hurt?" Honestly, I felt sorry for the cats...

I saw something about this on TV. Oh I remember! It was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I think it is very cruel. I feel so badly for those poor cats. They are living creatures, not objects to be manipulated. Poor things. Those hairless cats are so beautiful! That said, here's the Fallon bit:

Hi Whitney!

I saw this in the News...apparently it is all the rage in Moscow.All I can think of to say about the process is COME ON PEOPLE!!!

Why would you do that to your furry (or not so furry) friend? It is inhumane, cruel, disgusting, ridiculous...oh there,the words are coming to me now.

My big cat Babe is 15 years old.He sits on my lap and reclines his upper torso on my chest and gently strokes my face with his paw. I love him so much...it's sad enough taking him to the vet,he gets so freaked out. I can't fathom doing something this horrendous to him. I would never.

Interesting post Whitney! Let's hope what happens in Moscow stays in Moscow and doesn't catch on in the rest of the world.

It’s agreed to be bad if it’s real, tattooing is actually a little common on dogs, but it’s a form of identification. It’s most common for Canada Kennel Club registered dogs, as well as dog breeders who compete with their dogs and have highly titled dogs . It’s not practiced as much as it used to be, but it’s a sure fire identification method if your dog has a number tattooed on its belly or ear. Although, when on the belly, the hair has to be kept shaved in order to make the tattoo visible.
