Removing oil from a cat

[alan_m]

Get in fast with the angle grinder - before the cat has chance to realise that its going to lose some fur.

[Mr Macaw]

I thought they still did?

[Mr Macaw]

Ok that's so cool I've ordered a bulldog clip to try it!

'Convert' it to a female then the colour combinations (white + black + orange) will be correct.

Amazing. :-)

Reminds me of how a chicken can be tranced out by drawing a line.

Yeah, I've done that before... IIRC it's a built-in reflex which goes back to a kitten being carried around by the scruff of its neck by the mother

Found a bulldog clip I forgot I had. Cat crouched down and stared at me. I picked it up and placed it in the middle of the room, and it just sat there. I hissed at it, and it tried to run along with it's legs half folded up, then disappeared under the couch.

[Mr Macaw]

Well that's me lost my bulldog clip, bloody thing ran through the cat flap with it on.

The best folk to ask are RSPCA. In the main detergent does work, but the difficulty is to stop the cat liicking the oil or whatever you treat it with. Both can be fatal if enough is ingested. Brian

With the price of diesel as low as it is, not worth extracting oil from cats now.

[ARW]

And the oil must have made the cat feel unwell:-). It's been sleeping all day. 4 hours sleep on the bed followed by another 4 hours sleep on the settee.

That sounds like a normal day for Cat.

I have just left it with the oil for now. This one is really stupid but it seems to love living in my house so I keep feeding it

Cats have strange metabolisms and can react unexpectedly to things that are safe on other animals and on humans. The vets I shared with at uni had a mantra when doing pharmacology 'especially the horse and except the cat' to describe the reactions to many drugs. As he says, never use anything on a cat that is not known for certain to be cat safe.

[Adrian Caspersz]

Also oversupply of oil extracted from babies.

[Mark Allread]

Well, the cat has now been de-oiled but how are you going to treat the bed and the settee?
