My wife wanted to wipe a blob on her fur where she'd have to lick it off, but Amelia wasn't too keen on the plan and moved, so got the blob on her back. Wife left it there thinking Amelia would find a way to get it off, but she didn't. Ended up with a lump o fhardened petromalt stuck in her fur. We ended up taking scissors to it to cut it loose. I can't think of any way to remove your kitties, either, other than cutting. Very carefully, of course! Dan |

Not from petromalt, though. He visited a neighbor who is doing some renovating and managed to get adhesive, which I ended up cutting out. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

One of the Whiskas brand "Temptations" treats is for hairball control - Melisande, who also does not like petromalt, really loves those. She's ordinarily not particularly food-oriented, but she's yet to be choosy about the treats - when I drop the recommended dose on her tray, they're gone practically before I turn around. A lot of cats LOVE petromalt - I've had a number who would enthusiastically lick it straight from the tube. A friend of mine had a cat who liked it so well that he'd position himself under the drawer where she kept it and cough, in hopes of getting some as a treat! |
