Tip For The Day: Cats and Paint
Cats + Paint == Bad.
I'm trying to paint some trim in the bathroom as we ready our condo for sale. However, the cats don't understand "wet paint", and why I may not want them to walk on the windowsill. But, since the door is wet, I can't close it...
To skip to the end of the story, paint comes off of cats easily with a wet paper towel. I, however, am worse for wear with a couple panic scratches on my leg from trying to restrain the cat.
I have now learned not to hold onto the cat's body while attempting to clean the paint off, but instead to hold onto the cat's legs. Without legs, they cannot run away. While holding rear legs, they cannot scratch me. While holding front legs up in the air, they need rear legs to stand. Again, cannot scratch me.
I now know the right way to clean paint off of cat feet.
