last week my cat, Minnie, got skunked. Oh joy! We smelled skunk in my bedroom and outside my window....I was the one that realized the odorific feline and escorted her back outside. That was the end of those flannel PJ's.

Hubby used Skunk -Off on her,but she still smells like a rubber tire.  And strangely enough I'm the only one that can smell her now. (and she's a dark gray kitty so she looks like a rubber tire too...lol)

it's a problem because smelly cat triggers my noggin and makes me ill. that's why i'm asking all of you what to do.

so miss minnie has been spending some quality time in the barn and outside until we can figure this out.

I will call the vet and see what they say.
any ideas?

thanks!
-rori :)

Get rid of Pepe....on the serious side - I don't know.

Tomato juice. Lots of it.

Seems to be all the same recipe . . . .hope it helps.

Send pictures of your soon-to-be-shaved cat.

After the skunk off stuff....a good bath at the groomers would be in order.   They have special shampoos to remove further odors from the fur since the skunk smell is neutralized and now she smells like old rubber.

Wow.. you all are speedy! thanks!

I called vet and they don't bathe cats.  
Well, who would in their right mind? cats are fast and pointy.
they had a home remedy as well, but from the looks of the recipes above i can make it myself.

I called a groomer who can't see her until thursday... she is happy to try, but wouldn't guarantee results.

Maybe i can convince Hubby to try give her another bath. Again the fast and pointy part makes it tricky.
thanks again!!

(all i can think of is that smelly cat song from Friends)

Just so I'm making myself clear, Rori - this is not for the cat to drink. You bathe the cat in it. Lots of it. Over and over. Buy a case of it.

Didn't want there to be any confusion. ;)

Give it to Gorhams only chinese restaurant ( no offense to our asian bretheran)

I thought the tomato juice was for the bloody marys we'll need to numb our wounds from the inside out  after trying to wash the cat  ;)

tomato juice won't do the job. :(

A good Christian burial would do the trick.  Just make the hole deep enough.

And no need to sit shiva after it's gone.

Well we'd have to sit shiva.... I'd need the bagels ;)(from NY..the good ones, EE)

And don't worry folks ......my cat will live A VERY LONG happily forever after in my barn if i can't get the smell off of her. All the mice she can chase and the place is twice the size of my house.

A cat is one of the seven first-degree relatives?

I guess it's a moot point if Minnie's going to live long and prosper....

She'll be fine - once I went a week without a shower and Pat hasn't banished me to the shed.

Yet. ;)

OH SHIT!
