Gadzooks! a PINK cat??!!

When Philip and Joan Worth's cat Brumas went out for a walk last Friday near his Devon, England, home, he was the same shade of white he'd always been.

When he came back later that day, the 9-year-old male was a delicate shade of pink.

"He was pink — Barbie pink," Joan Worth told the BBC. "His head, ears and right down his body, although not underneath, had gone a quite brilliant pink."

The next day, Brumas was taken to the vet, who found nothing wrong with him and also said the color was nothing toxic.

"We have thought about everything as to how this happened, from him being covered in some form of cow treatment to children's poster paints," said Philip Worth.

It doesn't seem to be paint, as Brumas' fur isn't matted. None of the Worths' five other cats have been affected.

"He seems fine, he's eating well," observed Joan Worth, "and the other cats aren't terribly bothered."

Now, this leads to some interesting speculation. WHAT could that cat have gotten himself into? a Pepto-Bismol factory? a cotton candy mixer? I know-- he musta met up with some Mary Kay consultants! or... perhaps he's decided to take a pro-active stand in the fight against breast cancer? That's a pretty noble effort- for a cat. I'm glad he chose that color.

But, honestly! How DID he become that color?? especially if it's not paint? chalk? inks? Send your ideas to me-- address them to the Pink Panther....

So much to ponder.
