Warm water or if you have a flea comb that should take care of it.

If your cat will allow you to do this...wrap a warm moist washcloth

around the paw and massage it a little to help break up that wax

Good Luck

Dear ...I've been thinking about you the last few days. I am so

sorry for your loss, and all the calamaties of late. I wondered where

you were. Please remember you can come here anytime, and say anything.

You are loved very much. I know it is so discouraging when one

predicament piles on top of another.

I'm keeping you in my heart & in my prayers.

Much Love & Many Hugs.....

Gee , thats a tough one.

Have you tried vegetable oil. Try to massage it between the wax and the skin

if possible. It might loosen the wax enough to get some of it off. Good

luck. I have two cats and love them both dearly. I would hate to see them

in discomfort. But accidents happen. Good thing the cat is ok and didn't

seriously get hurt. Just a little cosmetic damage, I hope.

Love and Hugs,
