Please help... cat has bituman on fur

My cat happened to get underseal(bituman) on her fur on her back leg, tried washing it off but its water proof. Can anyone suggest anything. The jar the underseal comes in says its only poisonous to fish, but we dont want to take the chance. we have tried shaving it off, and using washing up liquid. Need help quick please

I'm not quite sure what underseal or bituman are. Could you explain maybe?

sorry its like tar

You might try using really small scissors (like manicure or thread nippers) to cut her fur. Shaving would probably just gunk up the razor. Pull her hair as far from her leg as you can & snip very carefully.

I know it's like a tarey substance like a sealer, but I don't have any idea how you can get it off, hopefully someone will be able to help you..The only thing I could think of is something oily like baby oil and try to comb it through the hair, it's slippery and maybe something oily would help loosen it, but I am not really sure just a guess

I checked a mrs. fix it website real quick, they recommend mayo and linseed oil , not sure if both are safe. Maybe mayonayse would be my best guess.

Here is the link I found: http://www.mrsfixit.com/Fixits/FixitDetails.asp?id=234

we tried with scissors, but she is a short haired cat and she was getting a bit stressed at this point. we have tried using a hand cleaner for stuff like that, but we had to put her in the sink, which she didnt like. its a nightmare

I found a site that sayd how to remove tar from cats and dogs

That was for cats and dogs also so it might be your best bet Dr fosters & smith

Mayonnaise, who would have thought!! i will definately try that. thanks, i will make a note of the mrs fix it website. just trying to settle her again at the moment

thanks for all these tips they are a great help, its just deciding which one is the most effective, as they all suggest different things
