Some reasons for wanting to dye your cat's fur include having its fur match the colors of a holiday, adding hues that reflect the mood and personality of your cat, or covering up graying or fading fur. If your pet will allow it, you can dye your cat's hair with pet hair-dye gel that's made for felines. After making sure the product is nontoxic and approved by the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, you're ready to begin. Semi-perminant dyes generally last for about four to six washes.
