HELP! Stinky in the paint

Well, he did it. He got into the paint. Actually, he went and jumped
up on his favorite windowsill while the paint was still wet. He got
it on his paws, his butt and tail, and made little white pawprints all
over.

So here's where I need help! How do I safely get the paint off him?
Turpentine seems too harsh, and even assuming he'd stay still for it,
I'm worried he would absorb it through his skin. But I don't want him
cleaning his fur himself, and ingesting the paint! Any brilliant
ideas?

Is it oil based? If not, soap and water should do it. Maybe give the vet a
call. I bet it happens all the time.

OK, fortunately the paint is water-based, so I took the little
butthead into the bathroom, and scrubbed his paws with soap and water
while he screamed and threatened me with Amnesty International. The
ironic thing is, he was walking happily around with the gunk on his
paws, leaving footprints all over, but now I'M getting the Eye of
Death for what I'VE done to him. :P

Thanks for your suggestions. I was just hoping I woulnd't have to
lock him in the bathroom, but that's that. He's so busy cleaning
himself now anyway (and cursing kitty curses under his breath), he
probably won't even notice.
