| Rub cat litter into her fur. It'll absorb alot of the oil.

| Try Avon's Skin So Soft. That usually works on that kind of thing.
It is a bath oil, but it has a number of other things that it does.

p.s. Skin So Soft is also a GREAT mosquito and black fly repellant.

| 1515.3 | Dawn - it breaks up grease! | PARITY::WHALEN | And may the traffic be with you | Thu Jun 30 1988 18:04 | 7 |

After rubbing as much off as possible with a dry papertowel,
I wet a rag and put a dab of Dawn or similar greasecutting detergent
on it and rub the spot. Rinsing it after with just a wet rag, cleans
the area without having to bathe all of kitty...

| re: .3
DAWN is a detergent and can be harsh to the skin of cats and people - as well
as toxic if the cat licks it off or is groomed by another cat. Please call
the local groomer and ask for a kitten shampoo brand name or better yet,
get the kitten bathed, toes trimmed, and fluff dried for a nominal fee....
you won't be the bad guy and the kitten will look wonderful.

Jim,
I have a completely white cate "Dinky" who LOVES to rub her head
on anything oily or dirty. The best 'cure' I have found so far
is to rub a little baking soda (Bicarbonate of Soda) into the oily
patch (this absorbs the grease) and then give her a brisk rub down
with an old towel. Most of it seems to come off this way and at
least if Dinky chooses to have a go at cleaning the oil patch herself,
I know that the baking soda is not harmful to her.
Hope it helps!
SANDY.

| Talcum powder (the sort you use for babies) also absorbs oil quite
well.

| Dawn works VERY well and if it is rinsed off completely, it doesn't
cause problems.

Having a cat with skin sensitivity, I can only suggest you at least do
a skin patch test for 24 hours before using the product all over the cat.
Even rinsed off, it could be a problem for an animal that has touchy skin
because it is a detergent and is not designed for that purpose.

| A product called "Basic H" cuts grease beautifully and seems to
cause no irritation... My husband uses it for shaving.....
