    Our vet knows this cat only too well and suggested cleaning her under an anasthetic :( RSPCA just rang and rang.

    Didn't have any talc so tried the washing up liquid and sugar option. Its definitely helped a lot. I did the bits she could reach easily first and now I just keep sneaking up on her and doing little bits at a time.

    Thanks everyone, for your good advice as usual. :beer:

    I'm not surprised, if even a little remains and she tries to lick it off it would be harmful. I would have thought your insurance will cover the a thorough cleaning under anaesthetic?

    I have to say fairy liquid, neat, followed by warm water works well (followed by lots of TCP and a trip to A&E to have stitches in the many lacerations :-))
