Cats and car oil?

how do you get car oil off a cat?


and will she get hurt i leave it alone over night?


will it get sick if she licks herself?Cats and car oil?
Just use a shampoo





no, kitty will not get hurt if left alone with it





no, dumb cat will not get sick...she wont like the taste and stop trying to clean itselfCats and car oil?
Though they don't like it, cats can be bathed. Lots of soap and lots of water should do the trick.





I don't know that there's any danger if you need to leave it till tomorrow. As long as she doesn't sleep near any heat source or flame. Wouldn't want her to catch fire, though that would burn off the oil.
Yes your cat can get ill, even die from licking the oil off it's fur. I would use a deep cleansing shampoo for animals. You may have to shampoo many times. You can also take it to pet groomers and have them shampoo for you. You can check at Pets Mart or Petco for a shampoo that is safe to use on your cat.
Try vegetable oil, the oil should break down the automotive oil. Do not leave it on her overnight-if she licks it, she can become poisoned. If the vegetable oil doesn't work, try a clarifying shampoo and wash her at least three times with it. Rinse well. Or, if you don't have either one of those items, try vinegar water, but be very careful of her eyes and mouth.
Poor kitty. This was the closest I could come up with.








How can I remove tar and paint from my pet's hair?





A. Small deposits of tar can be removed by letting them harden and then carefully cutting them off. For larger deposits, soak the areas with vegetable oil for 24 hours. This will soften the tar, which then can be removed by shampooing. You may need to bandage the oil-soaked area or put a T-shirt on your pet to prevent your pet from licking or chewing off the tar. Never use gasoline, kerosene, turpentine, or organic solvents on your pet. These products can severely burn your pet's skin and cause toxicities.





For those of us who live among many pine trees, note that vegetable oil or butter can also be used to remove pine pitch.





Paint





Paint is best removed by letting it harden and then clipping off the affected areas. Avon's Skin So Soft may soften some oil-based paints, which can then be removed.
Just reposting here as this is asked twice.





Use Dawn dish soap.





';If you are attempting to remove grease, oil, or other petroleum products from your cat's fur, try using Dawn brand detergent first to remove it, and follow up with a cat shampoo.';

For sure you've got to help her clean herselt. Imagine yourself licking car oil.. For sure it'll make you sick. You might ask your vet on the right ways to handle this. Quick! Before it's too late...
