I am normally pretty good at identifying an Internet hoax or urban legend. Ooh Ooh – hurry hurry – Congress is about to impose a tax on the Internet. Or Obama was really born in Kenya. I can normally smell those a mile away.
But these ‘painted’ cats? Do people really pay $15,000 to have their cat painted (and re-painted three months later when the fur grows out?) Or is someone a Photoshop artist and cat lover (or hater)?
Halloween may be over, but I am always a sucker for dogs and cats in costume.
Here kitty, kitty – let me give you a closer look.

Bonnie,
What fun.

Real cats. Fake Paint.
