Are you allowed to use the spell Shrink Item on a living creature?

Nope!

Shrink Item is specifically designed for an object, for which creatures do not qualify. You're wanting either Reduce Person or Reduce Creature.

Edit: Or Reduce Animal, as the case might be. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/spells&tablefilter=reduce

The spell specifically mentions a non-living object so no....but you COULD kill them and shrink their body (if you needed to hide a corpse somewhere but with a lack of space).

I like your line of thinking. – Jonathan Drain May 18 '12 at 2:21
Once a friend of mine tried to pull off some wild trick involving persisting Shrink Item on his corpse while using a magic jar or asking someone to resurrect him. – Zachiel Oct 10 '12 at 20:50
