Is non toxic tempera paint ok to use on cats paws?

I am painting on a canvas and really want to put both my big and little cats (the little one isn't a kitten, she is just little) paw prints on it but do not want to risk getting them sick or anything so is there a paint that is safe to use on cats? I was thinking something like the Non-Toxic Tempera Paint they use in Childcare Centres?

If you have any links to where the item can be sold in Australia, I'd love for you to share it, thank you.

    You might want to check with a vet, but if it is safe for kids I would think it would be OK to use as you describe. You are going to wash it off of their paws right afterwards, right? Sounds cute!

    well.. idk i think you should contact a vet for that queston.

    but i imagined it would burn thier skin. considering most paint may have ahlcohal in it. and since its non toxic it will still have a tiny bit.

    There is no way that you can successfully clean the cat's feet as they will continue to lick for hours.

    I would reconsider and not use your beloved companions
