2729.0. "Driveway sealer on feet?" by CGVAX2::JOHNSON_S () Thu Aug 03 1989 09:53

    My 2 cats walked through our driveway sealer last night.  Is there
    anything I can use on their feet to get it off?
    
    Thanks in advance.

    when I was a kid my mom used vinegar or alcohol... I can't remember
    which... to take the tar off us when we got dirty in it.

    Try cold cream (i.e. face cream).  If it doesn't take it out,
    it will at least soften their pads a bit.  I wouldn't use anything
    harsh on them.  It will eventually come off by itself.

    Use anything that is oil based that's edible (cooking oil or mineral
    oil).  You want to try black tar on a black cat with black pads....oh
    did we have fun.  I even cut some of it off on the fur between the
    toes.  The mineral oil worked real well for us when our cat walked on
    a foundation that had just been tarred.

    Avon Skin-So-Soft works on tar.

    re: .4  My goodness!  Is there no end of uses for Avon SSS!
     I recently found out that it makes a good insect repellant too!!
    
      Amazing stuff!  Wonder if it gets stains out of my husband's
    shirts too ;-)

    It probably does.  I heard that it works wonders on blood stains!
