Hi!
skootching dog, the Henry, and I are helping Art Gekko run an event this coming weekend, and I have a concern for Henry and poison ivy, not so much that he'll have a reaction, because from all I've read, kitties don't get poison ivy poisoning. I worry that the little guy will walk through the poison ivy and give it to US.

He's a head-sleeper.

I don't want poison ivy on my head.

We're going to do our best to keep him in the grassy areas, and out of the shrubs as much as possible, but with out luck, the little creep will find a way to get into it. I don't want to keep him home, because he loves camping, and we haven't been, all year.

I'd read that rubbing alcohol works on poison ivy, but that's toxic if ingested. I was thinking about making kitty wipes for before bed out of wash cloths and Everclear. I'm also very open to suggestions. Anyone got anything?

If the question is poison ivy the answer is Tecnu.

We have it in our camper for Z-penguin, who gets poison ivy when I have been near it. He looks at me and can get poison ivy if I've been in the woods.

wow! never even considered that the cat could bring in the poison ivy!

We successfully avoided all the poison ivy!

Currently, I think the mental stress of it was far greater than the risk itself.
