Accidentally painted my cat  @ 2011/08/25 15:06:28


Post by: Kimzi Caky


Hello Dakkapeople.

Whenever I am painting I always drop stuff. I drop my paintbrush, with paint on it, at least 3x every painting session and the model I am working on once or twice. Now that's okay. I don't mind what colour my floor/foot is and the paintbrush is always easily cleaned.
But today I dropped my paintbrush on my cat. With fresh paint on it. Will she be okay? Is the paint toxic to cats? It was slightly watered down GW Bestial Brown, and only a tiny amount of it. I tried cleaning it but she already licked it off before I found it. (Just my luck, Bestial Brown on a brownish cat.)
I know it's safe for humans since I haven't killed myself with it so far...

Thanks for your time.

This is an odd question. I'd say he's fine. My cats have eaten SW FW pads, and they've just pooped them out, no harm done. Paints are less toxic than the resin that FW uses, I think.

She'll be fine. It's not in enough quantity that it will do anything terrible to her feline system.

Okay, good. She's a fat little thing that eats everything she can find, I guess she can add Bestial Brown to the list of favourite noms.

The cat licked it off and was just fine.

I have, for some time, been considering dressing my cat up as a Khorne Lord of Battles to go with my CSM army. However I'm concerned it would be a battle I would not win (him having lightning claws and furious assualt and all that)

Mine is a paint cup drinker as well. In fact he will pretty much only drink from the paint water cup, you put fresh water down for him and he sprills it all over the place, gets mad that he is now wet, and comes and drinks from the paint water.

Gardeners have a saying about planting catnip

If you set it, the cats will get it.
If you sow it, the cats won't know it.

Must be that planting the catnip from pots will release the oils and attract the cats.

My cats used to steal this certain type of teabags after my father made tea with them, and they would lick it and hug it and play with it... Maybe there was catnip in it or something.
I made them a toy pirate mousey and put some of that tea in it and they totally loved it.

Was wondering if it could have been bergomont. It is used in Earl Grey and there is also a bergomont tea. But the plant doesn't seem to be related to catnip.

Could have been anything, it was a herbal tea with a collection of stuff in it. They never try to make out with my Earl Grey tea so it wasn't that.

The eater of the bestial brown adores her ribbons though. Her 'pretties' as we call them.

That said, I can imagine the mean ol' fether of a cat that we have in a top hat/monocle combo... that would really suit him, actually.

Oh god, the images in my mind... they'd be right at home in the Eye of Terror/Chaos area of choice... utter madness

We used to have a dog we called "The Destroyer of Worlds" because back when we used to play M:TG we'd play on the floor usually and he'd come running through the house and trigger a minor apocalypse.

Artemis doesn't care about modelling, unless the miss is doing it, luna, however, takes it upon herself to always knock it out of my hands, not play with it, just knock it down, like she means business. I usually pull out my scouts when I model, as a distraction, so I can model in peace.

Inb4 I named my cats after the cats from sailor moon(I did).

If there is lead in any Citadel paints I have yet to have a pot with a nice big warning label on lt.
If GW are putting lead in paints and not telling would think that would be seriously frowned upon by the authorities.

It is not going to be the case. Unless you have definite proof?

THis was linked to in an old thread about paints:
http://www.canada.com/topics/bodyandhealth/story.html?id=12e6db82-4890-43fd-af14-1e24a379c46e

never heard anything more about it however, whether it was contamination in the testing process, the packaging plant or whatever.

Thanks for that Norsehawk.
Sorry to make such an amusing thread serious.

My paints have AP and CE symbols.

CE marking is a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets all the appropriate provisions of the relevant legislation implementing certain European Directives. CE marking gives companies easier access into the European market to sell their products without adaptation or rechecking. The initials "CE" do not stand for any specific words but are a declaration by the manufacturer that his product meets the requirements of the applicable European Directive(s).


For the AP marking cf:
http://www.acminet.org/Safety.htm

Have seen web comments about ASTM standards so in the USA it should have this on the label?

What does Conforms to ASTM D-4236 on your packaging mean?

ASTM stands for American Society for Testing and Materials Standards. ASTM D-4236 is a labeling practice for products that contain art materials. An evaluation is to be conducted by a board-certified toxicologist. The evaluation ensures that the product is not expected to pose any significant chronic adverse health effects to humans via ingestion or skin contact when the products are used as intended or under circumstances involving reasonable foreseeable misuse. As according to the U.S. Product Safety Commission "Parents and others buying art materials, school supplies and toys such as crayons, paint sets, or modeling clay should be alert and purchase only those products which are accompanied by the statement Conforms to ASTM D-4236."


All in all I would say that there is likely to be no problem with Citadel paints. Not sure what the penalties are for contavening the regs but would not like to be in GW's boots if they did.

For what it is worth the CE logo has been tainted somewhat recently by Chinese manufacturers also using CE on thier products. The premise for this is that it stands for "China Export" rather than "Conformité Européenne" in Europe. Suposedly the Chinese version is spaced differantly but in effect they use the same mark.

Re the Cat/paint issue. Has anyone tried soaking their decorated felines in Simple Green overnight? Should remove all unsightly paintjobs and probably hair.

My cat drinks from my paint water, from my water glass, and refuses to drink from his bowl. He constantly throws food in the water, making it nasty, so he seeks my drink. Today, I attempted to get a Yoo-Hoo (feeling nostalgic for childhood) and he tried to drink that from the can. Anyway, I have no issues with him on my gaming table. He doesn't knock models over, he doesn't try to eat them (however, I am missing an apothecary....) and he pretty much ignores warhammer stuff in general. He's the perfect cat. He's also totally obedient and actually COMES when I call him. He also likes to cuddle with people. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure he had his mind switched with a dog. Just don't rub his belly...death soon follows.

Totally obedient? Really? Mine is the exact opposite! In fact sometimes when I call him or say stuff to him - I'm sure if he could he'd give me the finger (or would that be toe/paw?) or tell me to bugger off! Although he is quite cuddly and does like to be around people - but affection is only on his terms and when he wants - and it usually involves him pummelling me!

That is much the like the cat we have here.

The old cat used to jump on to the table and knock everything off. He also seemed to seek paint out a lot, when we redecorated the kitchen there were tiny white gloss paw prints all over the place.

Well, my cat does occasionally pummel me too. I was chilling with friends one night, playing Mortal Kombat on the Xbox and he just walked over to me, looked me in the eye and hauled back and b***h slapped me in the face. It was so funny I couldn't even get mad. He does tend to go nuts at midnight, but he never harms warhammer. Sometimes, if pet the wrong way, I think he's rabid, cause he just attacks. But, ever since I saw Quarantine, I thought catching rabies might be fun

Not sure. I know you can dye an animal a solid color, because my sister (who gets whatever she wants) got her yapper dog dyed pink. No idea how they did the spots though, because they're fairly clean circles, and the colors would most likely bleed.

My cat loves drinking my paint water. Occasionally it stains their whiskers and fur. I have also sometimes found the odd mini in their trophy pile. They also do not like the smell of modeling glue.

Well at least my cat is nice enough to offer me a trade for the paint she eat and the models she attacks. At night she goes out, catches a live frog, and gives it to me. She does this at least 2 times a week. And the frogs are usually completely unharmed. She just picks them up and puts them inside.
Thank you, cat. Now I have to go out in the rain to put the frog back. Again.
Maybe I should start using them as interesting terrain pieces for my next game.

All cats seem to revel in the surprise attack! One of mine used sit on the back of a chair then it would howl at you to come over and give it attention. Of course once you got in swiping distance up would come the paw and wallop! Another would grip your arm with its front paws and then with claws fully extended proceed to shred your under arm. It was playing. Seriously. All the time biting your fingers, the amount of times I ended up covered in blood. She was still a great cat. Had the wrong idea about what play is though.

God, they are smart little buggers arn't they....a little to smart sometimes.....


I have two cats, one is a little house cat and is as usless as a two dollar bill. The other one tho, shes way to smart for her own good. She sits and talks with us at night time, telling us about her day. She turns up in the most random of places, like the linnin closet, in the coin part of my arcade game. But she never fails to amuse us......except when she brings home her 'little treats' for us. She will usually sit in the fromt yard with her half dead mouse batting it if it tries to get away.

Also when she was a kitten, she would junp on top of the book shelves and wait until someone was around, then start swatting pics and other stuff off.....but only if there is one of her 'humans' around....she also has several 'human shaped thrones' that she likes.....


So...in the end cats are jerks =o] I live mine, but there jerks.
