My Cat vs. Mousetrap Glue: Chaos & Rescue

Ever tried explaining to your cat that glue traps aren’t snacks? Yeah, me neither—until today. I found Mr. Whiskers glued to a mousetrap, looking both betrayed and furious. First step: snip only the fur stuck to the trap (don’t even try to save the hair, just save the cat). If it’s too close to the skin, call your vet ASAP—no DIY heroics. Next, I wrapped him in a towel burrito (pro tip: prevents toxic glue licking) and massaged cooking oil into the sticky mess. Olive oil, canola, whatever’s handy—just NOT citrus or tea tree oil (those are toxic). Let it sit for five minutes, then gently wipe with a dry cloth. Repeat as needed. Once glue-free, it’s bath time: lukewarm water, cat shampoo, and lots of patience. Avoid the eyes, ears, and nose. Dry thoroughly, offer treats, and accept that you’ll never be trusted again. #PetCare #CatRescue #CatOwners #Pets #Cats
