Sounds like the work of a bored teenager or millennial. Ignorant, vapid and self-centered, totally unaware that the ink could be toxic to a tiny kitten like these little guys. Part of the perp's education should be to have the living stuffings beaten out of them. Then they should be required to clean the cages at a large animal rescue facility for a year, and fined.

That is messed up. Good thing I do not live in a ‘hood’

Do you beat your kid when he writes on his little sister with a Sharpie too?

This is stupid and immature, not cruelty. Natural oils will break the Bond between fur and ink with no harm.

Well, this isn’t as bad as the story I read a few minutes ago about a veterinarian who shot a cat through the head with an arrow, then posted a picture of herself on facebook proudly holding up the not-quite-dead cat.

These adorable little guys (girls?) will make it, and no doubt have no trouble finding a forever home.

I love cats but calm down.

There was no indication of intention to hurt the kittens. It might even have been a couple little girls who wanted the kitties to look pretty.

They tend to do things like that.

Who could do that to poor little kitties? I know, I know, far greater cruelty than that goes on all the time. Anyone who thinks that is funny is depraved. I hope they cats will be okay. Maybe the affected hair has to grow out.

Hopefully it’s only on their fur, not their skin, which would be really bad.

I have no sympathy towards the perpetrators.

How is this news?

[fortheDeclaration]

Glad to hear they are recovering.

i paged down but can’t see the pink or green haired youngster pictures.

I'm sure those who are outraged about this are suffering more trauma than the cats. Who hasn't gotten such marker on themselves? Anyone been made ill from it? Anyone been emotionally scarred for life?

IMO, all these stories are designed to turn folks' attention away from the wholesale murder of babies and so many bite that it's amazing anyone even realizes that babies are being murdered everyday - I guess babies just ain't as cute as puppies and kittens to a lot of folks....

stuffings beaten out of them

Right our parents did not beat us but a swift smack on the behind or the WOODEN SPOON(In Italian families) was all that was needed.

Appauling but not unheard of.

[JimRed]

Stupidity more than cruelty. Stupid should hurt.

When I was a kid I dyed my white cat blue. I used that stuff called bluing that my mother used in the laundry. Didn’t hurt the cat and he was beautiful.
