Cat Safe Ink
Does anyone know of any cat safe ink out there? I'm hoping to capture one of
my cats paw prints and put it on paper. |

Her paw print has to be on the document itself.

Go to a craft store and look at the stamp pads (or check the kid's crafts aisle if they aren't there). Second best is a water-based dye ink pad. You do NOT want to use a pigment pad, StazOn, distress ink, or the like. I recently did this, and I recommend having a wet cloth handy to immediately wash their paws clean. Also, I've found that back paws give a better impression than the front ones. I scanned in my images and had a rubber stamp made from a collaberation of both my cats' paws. |

Cat Safe Ink
I called my vet today and they suggested a water or soy based ink. They said
once you're done to just wash my cat's paw with water and cat shampoo. "Claude V. Lucas" wrote in message ...

FYI, if you're going to a discount or craft store, it wil be much easier to find a water-based ink pad (aka dye ink). I'm a crafter and don't know of any soy-based pads. Those are used primarily in the printing/publishing business. |
