Hivemind: Any ideas on what to use to get crusty, liquid meds off of cat fur? My poor kitty has matted fur around the mouth from messy meds and I've tried a warm washcloth (with no soap) and baby wipes. Neither did the job.

Point of order: issues related to Hitler's service in the Bavarian Army ought to go in the World War I forum.
