My Mainecoon MITZI, has long hair unlike his mainecoon brorher Rocky, who has short hair. Mitzi long plume tail brushed by a scented wax burner that I thought was safely tucked behind something.

I cut most of the wax out but can STILL feel residue!!
This was 2 years ago!!
I'm so grateful for the coconut oil suggestion!!!
I'm going to try it immediately!!

Did it help residue? Lol my cat just did the same. I got wax out with comb and used little dawn soap n warm water. But still feel it.

I personally stand by the ice cube method, it worked really well on our crazy, long-haired cat!

I would try to prim, but if the damage is deep, then get some damp gloves and with minimal water you can peel it off if it is anything like candle wax. If not, put that sucker in a larger box and spray it down (just kidding...if you are).

But another thing you could do is get some vegetable oil or cocoanut oil...any sleek oil that wouldn't irritate the cat's hatred of water and, with gloves, peel it off.

Soy wax from wax burner is not coming off my short haired Russian Blue. It is on her head and ears. Thankfully not in her eyes. Tried ice, coconut oil, vegetable oil, mineral oil. Nothing works. It's hard as a brick. I'm at the end of my rope. Will be going to the vet. I guess soy wax is different from the regular candle wax. Any suggestions? Help!
