| Tape??? Hey Everyone Empanada is walking around with duct tape on the bottom of his foor and wrapped half way around his leg I have no idea where he got it from but I was wondering how do I get it off without hurting him. He wont let me get near it because its pulling his hair so the less painful the better. Thanks

| oh my, well i feel for you. Milo loves to find the stickers off of chairs and furniture ( i am not quite sure how he gets them off) but anyway I usually find him once a week or so with sticker all over him. The only thing that i found to get it off is a nice bath....I am not sure duct tape would come off as easy but it might be worth a try ??

| Try rubbing some vegetable oil on it. Water won't work since it is waterproof.

| I've had luck with vegetable or olive oil getting stuff like that off. Just dowse his little leg with it and keep him from licking it somehow. Sabrina got into one of those glue traps one time and that's what I did after getting her in my lap and slowly peeling it loose. It was a MESS. Glue be gone would work better - but i don't know what it would do to his skin etc. I'd read the directions/call the company. I've also had luck with flour. Sprinkle it on, pull a bit, sprinkle some more. |

| Peanut butter may work and it won't hurt if he licks it - I think goo gone has petroleum in it so I wouldn't use that. |

| So, did you get it off your furbaby? Little darlings - what can they NOT get into? Just wondering if any of it worked! |

| Thanks guys for all the ideas... I was going to try them but before I could Empanada had gotten it off by himself I guess he got tired of me pulling on him. He seems a lot happier now.

| didn't this happen to someone else not long ago? I think they ended up using veg. oil to get it out? I am late reading this so i am sure you have it out by now. how did you eventually get it out?

| Im glad that Empanada finally got the tape out. I bet he is very happy that is not pulling his hair anymore. |
