I guess I'm thinking it was something kids would do. Food color...or
red kool-aid...would make the cat's fur pink without getting matted or
sticky. Could have happened when kitty was making his "rounds". Has
anyone seen that big, coffee table sized book called Why Paint Cats?
Some of the photagraphy is frankly incredible, but disturbing in a way
as they practiced on kitty corpses.
