Default Can Someone Help Me With Sunscreen For Cats??.

Does anybody know of any good sunscreens or zincs that can be used on
animals (a cat)? As I have a 2 year old pure white cat and I have never let
him outside as I am worried that he will get cancer.

Could someone please help me on this matter, my e-mail address is;

Thank You for you help.

I don't think we have a troll here. The email addy is real, and the problem
is realistic, too, so I wouldn't worry. Actually, I was thinking exactly the
same today. We had nearly 40 Deg C on the Gold Coast of Australia today (our
summer), and my Xena (not white but very pale still) was outside. I was
wondering, if there was a sunscreen that I could use on her (especially her
'bold spots') and that she wouldn't lick off. Hope someone can help,
Regards,

Don't know about any sunscreen - but we once had a cat that had one
area exposed to the sun - his nose! it was not Black, dang! what's
the word for it.. can't think- but dark skin - as in humans too - is
not so prone to sun damage -the pale skin is, and in this case the Vet
recommended we have his nose tattoo'd black - we had this done - but
right now as I write it seems crazy - it's still pale skin just
tattoo'd dark - so I dunno if it was effective or not?

Thanks Stuart!
Actually, it is a relief (for me at least) that Xena inherited a dark nose
from her Siamese ancestors. Also darker ears, but only on the outside....I
will ask our Vet if her ears could be 'darkened' inside....I wonder? and
those 'bald spots' on her face, that are often red from mosquito bites, and
after yesterday, I believe it was the sun's influence. Anyway, I think you
gave me a great hint - something for a start. Many thanks!
