There Are Crazy Cat Moms — and Then There's the Type Who Gets a Paw-Print Tattoo

You and your cat have become one. You are her and she is you, and you wouldn't have it any other way. Trudy did such an excellent job with making Trish's paw print look soft and natural. For reference, the tattoo measures one inch by half an inch, which is pretty close to the actual size of a cat's paw, and it took a little over an hour to complete. I obviously brought my Staud sweatshirt with Trish's face stitched onto it, so we could capture Trudy's work in the best light.

Next comes the healing process, which involves a few days of limiting workouts and applying thin layers of Aquaphor (for a smaller print) followed by weeks of lotion to keep the skin healthy and moist.
