My short haired Russian Blue dumped soy wax from a burner on her head. Her eyes are fine, but the wax has hardened like a brick on top of her head and ears. I tried ice, coconut oil, mineral oil, and vegetable oil. Kitty's head and ears now very slick brick. Is soy wax different from the regular candle wax? I am frantic. Kitty is still purring. Any suggestions? Help!

You say the wax is hard now after trying ice cubes on the wax. In this case, use your finger nails and start to comb through the cat's hair to remove some of the wax. Now take some olive oil and apply to the rest of the wax and keep working it into the wax. Take a small comb and start to comb the wax. This should remove the rest of the wax out of the fur. You will need to use the comb and also your finger nails to get the wax out of the fur.
Ice removes wax. If your dog can take it, rub ice quickly and flick if off with a wire dog brush.
Well that sure doesnt sound like fun. Have you considered asking your Vet to help out. Cats can be so uncooperative and a little sedative can help a lot. I am a candlemaker and soy wax has a lower melt point than regular wax. Sometimes you can soften it by holding towels soaked in hot water and wrung out against it.
