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

I've used a cotton bud to put food colouring in the crease of their armpit? That worked well for me.

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

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.

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
