When I was about five, I saw a pink poodle. I asked the owners how they got it pink, and the reply was "Food coloring!"

We had a white cat at the time. I thought she'd look great with colored spots. In the cupboard was a little set of the squeezy-plastic food coloring bottles.

Since the cat was half-asleep and wouldn't sit up or make a kittyloaf for me, I could only do one side.

One side was more than enough, according to my mom, who got stuck with the task of giving the poor kitty a bath (and even after the bath the cat still had hazy blobs of pastel colors on one side).

So: given Crayola markers and an obliging dog? I'd totally draw on him, too.

I attempted to dye our white lab when I was six-ish. My reasoning was that she loved to roll in the piles of grass left behind when Dad mowed the lawn, and wouldn't she look a lot better if she had green fur, since the grass wouldn't show up as much? So the next time we gave her a bath, I dumped a whole bottle of green food coloring in the little tin washtub we were using. Mama was amused... at first. Until it took three washings to get the dog mostly white again. By the end, she wasn't so amused anymore.

	You know what? My cat is a gray tabby, and now I think she would look awesome if she were dyed blue. rubs hands evily (Reply to this)(Parent)
