We had a family living under our shed this summer, although I think they've moved on. I could get about ten feet away with Maisie the beagle (who was not that interested) before the skunk would saunter away. They don't like to spray except as a last resort— I guess your little friend pushed too close.

Jay,
That cat does NOT look happy!

However, if it was either one of my wife's cats here, you'd need thick leather welding gloves to keep them in the laundry sink....and maybe the helmet too.

Any sage advice on cleaning the pets?
We have (at least) one skunk hanging around our yard too.
I have read that hydrogen peroxide is the best at killing the smell.

We did the peroxide baking soda bath and it took away the intesity of the smell but did not remove it so we did another this afternoon. She is pretty mad at us right now and hasnt come home yet after the second bath so Im not sure how successful it is. In the photo my wife is holding her wirh a death grip by the frnt legs. Blood has been drawn before.

Worst is since it happened sometime during the night she came in the house through the dog door and our kitchen and family room stink like skunk. We have not been able to figure out what/where she touched.

I'm pretty sure that was a total F you look.


brino- I'm not 100% thrilled with the peroxide / baking soda treatment. It helps but does not completely remove the smell. She did get hit square in the face so there is still some in her ears which is impossible to clean properly. Not sure if a retail product would be better. I need to get some of the cleaner they use for cleaning up decomposing bodies.
 
I thought washing with tomato juice was the go to treatment for for that.
We have a skunk in our neighbourhood that's very trigger happy, the friggin thing doesn't hesitate to spray at a sight of cat .
 
Hey Guys
If you were a cat that got sprayed and then forced to take not one but multiple BATHS you wouldn’t be too happy either. After all that at least 2 lives taken away all at once.ifeel sorry for the poor thing and I don’t even like cats!
