If the trap is too close to your cat’s skin, then take your cat to the veterinarian to have the trap and glue removed.
Alternatively, massage peanut butter into your cat’s fur to remove the glue. Avoid using eucalyptus, tea tree, or citrus oil to remove the glue since these are toxic to cats. Also avoid using solvents such as paint thinner or acetone to remove the glue from your cat’s fur.
If glue still remains on your cat’s fur, then repeat steps three through five until the glue is totally removed.
Lukewarm water is typically 95 to 100 °F (35 to 38 °C). Alternatively, use the sink to bathe your cat.
Avoid getting water in your cat’s eyes, ears, and nose.
Avoid using human shampoo to bathe your cat. Use shampoo specifically designed for cats. Also avoid using insecticide shampoo to bathe your cat, since the insecticide may react with the mousetrap glue.
Make sure all of the soap is gone before removing your cat from the tub.
If your cat has long hair, you may want to comb its hair with a wide-toothed comb as well.
