LOL! <br /><br />Charlie came home once with that awful black oil all over him and it took all my strength to wash him and that horrid stuff off - I didn't have cat shampoo - but very diluted washing up liquid worked fine. <br /><br />I had a nervous breakdown for a week because the whole washing the cat in the bathtub was just so traumatic! Next time I'm calling in the vets! LOL!<br /><br />Take care and WELL DONE you and sweet Rufus! Not a good start but a great ending!:-)<br /><br />Awww!
