My cat just got stuck in a tree and my husband had to go up the tree to get him. Now my cat has tree sap all over him. What is the best thing to use to get it out? Thanks to anyone who can help!

This happens to our cat once in a while. I tried oil the first time and the sap oil combo resulted in a serious bout of diarrhea. Wasn't completely back to normal for about 4-5 days. I cut as much as I can now. The biggest problem is the stuff that gets in between the toes because you can't do much.

Try peanut butter or oil. Fish oil capsules opened up? Rub into the sap, and it should help loosen. Also cat will groom it away with the oily substance on the fur. Just make sure you cover your cat's fave sleeping places to prevent oily stains. I live with lots of white pines, and my kitties always seem to come in with some sap. I do this for the big spots and just pick at the little ones.

My first thought was that you may have to take him to a groomer, but you might want to check with your vet for other ideas. Good luck.

I've had cats all my life and that's a new one. I have sap all over my car though, and I know it really sticks. I would be afraid of putting anything chemical on a cat. The one thing I do know is that the hair is always growing and shedding so sooner or later the sap will be shed off. Sorry that's the best I can think of if cat shampoo doesn't help. Which I don't think it will. Maybe brushing or rubbing with towel to help the shedding. Or maybe cutting it off with dog clippers.
