    Many people dye their dog’s fur, paint its nails, or put jewelry on it.

    Some people even dress up their cats. Is it wrong?

    It depends on the animal. A lazy cat usually doesn’t mind being dressed, but a more active one can be very irritated. If the animal is in pain then it’s assur.

    Spray painting is assur. Pants for males, dresses for females is tznius.

    But most cats feel that clothing is undignified.

    I don’t understand the question. Does the dog care what color its fur is?

    It might care. But they can’t speak English. (Or maybe they do speak English and we humans can’t and only think we can.)

    Is it cruel to decorate animals? It is a waste of time & money. If you have nothing to do with your money, turn it over to Kimcha dePisscha instead of stupid color paint on the animal.

    The same can be said of nail polish, matching socks, jewelry for humans, cosmetics for humans, matching outfits for all the children, sheitels, Borsalinos, shtreimels, embroidery, lace, paint, extra shoes and paintings.

    There is special makeup with hashgacha that allows someone to apply it on their animals on Shabbos. But most poskim don’t hold by it so ask your Rav first. Let me know what he says.

    My house is decorated with dead cats. Can’t see any problem with that.

    In your case you are not decorating animals, you are decorating using animals.

    Idk but i dresses my dog up for purim. It was so cute in its batman outfit. The problem was that his ears were getting in the way of the mask. So i just cut them off.

    There actually was an “Ace the Bat-Hound” character in

    50s-60s Batman. His mask had holes in it.
