Tail docking information from the Council of Docked Breeds
... in Wales on 31 March 2007, England on 6 April 2007 and Scotland from 30 April 2007. Tail docking was effectively banned from the above dates. ... Full details of the position on docking in the UK as at May 2007

[Bobbisox]

my Yorkie had his tail docked before I got him as a tiny pup as most terrriers had then, it does look odd to see the breeds such as Westies and Yorkies with long tails now but it was a bit barbaric so I am pleased it's stopped

[AlBags]

I must admit my old girlfriend dyed hers once.
Would never do the cat tho : )

[AlBags]

^ very funny but not correct : )

[Jemisa]

I saw a video clip a while back from America where they dye cats on a regular basis, spots, stripes,some to match their decor.....

[woofgang]

dogs get dyed as well. If they are actually used to being bathed as cats often are, especially the long haired ones, then its no different butI don't like to see it

[carmalee]

anyone know exactly what was used to dye the cat?

[Bobbisox]

a red dye presumably carmlee

[carmalee]

was just wondering exactly what it was and whether or not it could prove to be harmful to the cat.

[Bobbisox]

I believe the poor thing was then dumpted in a bin..will check

The RSPCA fears a cat which was dyed pink and dumped was the victim of a "sick prank".


The animal charity is trying to trace the owner of the animal, which was thrown over a fence into a back garden in Swindon, Wiltshire.


The dye is not toxic but failed to budge with washing and the vet caring for the cat - nicknamed Pink - said further washes could cause her a lot of stress with little result.


Veterinary surgeon Penny Gillespie, who is looking after Pink at Cheldene Veterinary Centre and Boarding Cattery in Aldbourne, Marlborough, said: "We have no idea what the dye is or how long it will last. It is clearly not toxic but still unpleasant.


"The person responsible has covered her thoroughly all over but avoided putting any around the animal's eyes and nose.


"Further washing would stress Pink and probably would not help to r
