Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Are china markers toxic?
Cuz Rufous just ate the tip off of one and was ready to eat the rest of it, had I not intervened.  SignatureVictor M.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov > Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com Not sure what a "china marker" is - is it a permanent marker of some type, used to write/draw on dinnerware - or is it some el-cheapo writing instument bearing the label "Made in china"???? And people wonder why my .sig says what it does :P SignatureThe ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

It's like a crayon, not sure if it's a permanent marker, it can probably be washed off. It has a paper "sleeve" that you peel off with an attached string... hold on, let me google them... here it is: http://www.2spi.com/catalog/tools/smtol26.shtml SignatureVictor M.

We used to gall these "grease pens" - used in schools to write on transparancies on overhead projectors & the like. Dad used them at work too - but not sure in what context he used them - Mom would find them in his pockets. He was a civilian emploeey of the land-locked Naval base at Crane, IN. Did electronics repair for communication equipment (radios, radar & the like). Anyway, I did a deeper Google search, seeing as how they're made by Sanford now, and found http://tinyurl.com/d9da7. while there, there check for the "MSDS" Material Safety Data Sheet (it's in .pdf format) & see if it has anything re: toxicity. What I found was that they are non-toxic. Probably very similar in makeup to children's crayons, just more 'pliable' (probably use more beeswax or something to make them thatway) > Aha!!!!

Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca I'd say, keep a watch on him, and if he exhibits any signs of distress, haul him off to the Vet right away. I hope for his sake that it isn't. You never know what will have cat appeal. I'm glad you got there before he ate too much of it. Melissa Now that I see what you meant, am inclined to doubt it would be highly toxic...its more like a harder crayon material, isn't it? I was very afraid you were talking a "Sharpie" - those colored marking pens that - if not toxic, sure smell like they are! Hope the piece he ate passes right through his digestive system w/o harm to Rufous! > I'd say, keep a watch on him, and if he exhibits any signs of distress, > haul him off to the Vet right away.
