My cat has fly trap glue on her fur. Is it toxic and how to remove?

You could rub some vegetable or olive oil onto the area. Massaging the oil into the fur will help unbind the glue. Then rinse with warm water. You could also try to bathe the tail with dawn dish soap and see if that works. You could also just shave the fur with clippers to remove the glue.

I would check the label of the fly strip. Some of them are non-toxic, and if this is one of them, then it will not harm Marlow. The labels should let you know if there are any poisons or vapors in it. Should you not have the label, then I would google the name of fly strip you used to find out the ingredients. Then give a call to the Pet Poison Hotline at (888) 426-4435 (there is a $65 fee) to get more help, or you can post here again with the ingredient information and an expert can better advise you. Even if the strip is non-toxic, it's still not good for Marlow to lick it. I would bath him in Dawn dish soap to get it out of his fur. You can also shave the sticky parts out with clippers, or take him into a groomer to have the sticky fur shaved. To keep him from licking it until you can get him into a groomer, I would put an Ecollar on him.

Vegetable or mineral should have removed a majority of the residue. You can use a fine toothed comb to "brush" out the rest of it. Once you're done, cleanse the area with a few drops of Dawn dish soap and warm water.

Yes, Domino should be ok if he licked the fly tape. If you begin to notice that Domino is vomiting or becomes lethargic, I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made.

This glue may be toxic to cats. Unfortunately, there is no specific information on this available. I suggest you vacuum the area thoroughly and wash your cat's paws, if there is a chance she stepped into some of the sugar with the glue. I still suggest you call the 24/7 Animal Poison Control Center 855-764-7661 $59 USD per incident fee applies as they would deal with cases like this frequently.

You can try some mineral oil or coconut oil to see if that will help get the glue from her fur. She is likely exhausted from trying to get off the glue trap. If she doesn't start perking up in the next day or two or if she is refusing to eat (especially her favorite treats) then I would have your vet take a look at her. You vet will be able to make sure everything looks okay and prescribe her any pain meds if needed. I hope this helps!

I'm glad to hear that the nail caps work well for your cat's front feet! Most cats are far more tolerant of having their front feet handled than their back feet. Since Your cat is unable to retract his toe, I do think it's worth trying to remove the glue. Walking in with his toe in an abnormal position could cause him to inadvertently injure himself. Most of these caps use some form of a super glue for attachment. If your cat will tolerate it without causing you any bodily harm, try to soak the affected area in either vegetable oil or mineral oil for a few minutes, then try to gently scrape away at the glue closest to his nail base. It's not a big deal if some of the glue remains on his nails - it will wear off eventually. You may want to try wrapping your cat's body tightly in a large towel with the foot in question left out of the wrapping. We all this a "kitty burrito" and it's often helpful for a bit of restraint. I hope this helps and that everything goes well!
