Thanks, I was wondering if there was any type of wet wipes you could use. If it hasn't gone by tomorrow I think I'm going to have to pop up to Sainsbury's.

A friend of mine has just suggested a clothes peg (very helpful)

I think maybe his sister did it on purpose so she can get more hugs.

I've got a pack of bob martin anti- bacterial wipes in the house, suitable for cats or dogs. Think they were from sainsbury?
I got them about a year ago in case of emergencies, and think i've only used one of them - but they are still moist!
They have a light perfume, but dont know if they will penetrate a pilchard pong! :sick:

Ok I don't think I'll use the bicarb then although we eat it in cakes so it can't be that bad. It's surprising how stinky he is and he doesn't seem to care  :innocent: I'll have another go with just the water and see how it goes.

He gets far to many kisses and cuddles anyway he's a bit of a Mummy boy.

I know it's not a laughing matter but couldn't help but  :evillaugh:

I would just keep washing it with a damp cloth and try not to give him kisses for a while  :naughty:

I just looked up bicarb and it says this:

Baking Powder and Baking Soda. Baking soda and baking powder are both leavening agents. A leavening agent is a common ingredient in baked goods that produces a gas causing batter and dough to rise. Baking soda is simply sodium bicarbonate. Baking powder actually consists of baking soda and an acid, usually cream of tartar, calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate or a mixture of the three. Ingestion of large amounts of baking soda or baking powder can lead to electrolyte abnormalities (low potassium, low calcium and/or high sodium), congestive heart failure or muscle spasms.

My cat had a lovely breakfast of pilchards yesterday morning and he either cleaned himself or his sister cleaned him. Anyway he now smells like stinky fish.  :sick: It seems to be on the back of his neck so he can't reach it to clean, although he doesn't seem to be even trying. I've tried cleaning him with mild washing up liquid and water and it hasn't worked. Any suggestions, I thought about putting bicarb on him but don't know if it's safe for cats.
