Mark or identify identical kittens
Hi
Just wanted to ask all breeders how they mark kittens that are identical. I know of scrunchies on neck and nail varnish. Nails are too small and I really would worry about anything around their necks. Has anyone tried any dye or soemthing to colour a section of fur temporarily?Thank you patch

Re: Mark or identify identical kittens
If needed then the food colouring option in a least licked place is probably the best option - if you have a pale coloured kitten. That said, even with a litter that contained 4 cream point boys, so no colour to go by, I never had any trouble telling them all apart right from the beginning they all look different.

Hi PW and welcome,we do as Leah and Saiks have said,and don't worry i'm sure as identical as they are they will soon enough develop different characters/personality traits and you'll know who's who

Re: Mark or identify identical kittens
I do use the elasticated hair bands, have done this for several years and many kittens, never had a problem. I got a large packet from Asda (i think it was) and there are several different sizes suitable for newborns upwards.

Re: Mark or identify identical kittens
with the pups we cut a little bit of hair off in different places and just mark down which pup is which eg snip off some hair on the knee left leg on one, right leg on another cut the excess hair off the end of the tail etc

Re: Mark or identify identical kittens
In my last Burmese litter I had 3 blue girls who were incredibly similar - certainly 2 of them I absolutely could not tell apart until they were at least 8 weeks old! They wore their hairband collars almost until they went to new homes
