How do I get car grease and oil off my kitten?

My new kitten got scared and climbed right under the parked car and now has a couple of oil/grease marks on his fur. Does anyone know a product that can clean it off. I am in Australia so would need products that we can buy here (I dont think we can buy Dawn here). Thanks!!!How do I get car grease and oil off my kitten?
just use any dish soap made for breaking up oils I know they used Dawn on the exxon/valdez im sure you can find it somewhereHow do I get car grease and oil off my kitten?
Get a pair of shears and give kitty a shave.
take that cat to the vet because it could harm the cat in a multitude of ways! oh and be a little more carefull of what your cat can do but it is nice to know that you are not irresponsible enough to leave the cat alone and not care that it got car grease and oil on it.
try using shampoo. or any kind of dish washing liquid. try not to get it in the kittens eyes. good luck!!
Call up ';PetSmart';. Ask them
Just use any good quality baby shampoo.
Babyshampoo and cotton balls. Be sure to use warm water. You may have to do this more than one time. Are you going to keep the kitten inside? Good Luck and Happy Thanksgiving!!
If you can't Dawn dishwashing liquid, try something comparable. Maybe you should try a shampoo for oily hair. If that doesn't help, call a vet!
Reverse lol.
Take powdered laundry detergent, mix with a little water to make a paste and dab it on the grease/oil spots and let it dry. After it dries brush the cat off - the oil and grease should come off with the dried detergent. Or you could get scissors and trim the greasy hair off, the grease will be gone and the hair will grow back quick enough.
Lots of bad advice here many of the products suggested could be toxic to the kitten like goop for example. Diluted dishwashing soap without bleach or citrus could work be sure to rinse it off really well. Ideally you should call a vet or a groomer for advice kittens are very sensitive to toxins using the wrong product could make the kitten very ill or could be fatal.
awww. poor thing .....I would nottttt recommend bleach because that is dumb, but i would recommend you use tide without bleach my dog was in the same situation once and it got it off...im not 100% sure but im definitely sure that it wont hurt your kitten if it doesn't work.....
Well, I'm not particularly familiar with removing stains from cats. Try a dish washing soap that removes grease, something similar to dawn, or (don't know if you can get it in Australia) Goo Gone, Oops!, or something like that, a all-purpose remover that removes gum, grease, and stains, they usually remove grease pretty well. And good luck!
If you feel sure Dawn would work, try any dish washing liquid that does not contain bleach. The cheapest but mildest degreaseing dish soap you can find.


Also, I would try Goop. A product used by mechanics to remove grease from their hands, then soap.


Good luck.
I think a little white vinegar would work. Put it on a soft towel. Don't pour it on the kitten though. Also, make sure the kitten does not lick the grease! My cat did that %26amp; got very, very sick.
Any degreaser will do like a different type of dish soap.
My cat got some oil on her once. We used Dawn the dish soap. Oo you just said you dont have it. Um well..... you could try soap and water. Sorry about that
Leave him alone. He'll lick it off.





Stupid cat.
