Canis-Equus mentioned this and I have filed it away as a good idea. Washing up liquid is formulated to take care of grease so yep, that's a possible solution. I used it when my son rubbed gobs and gobs of vaseline all over everything

The reason I don't just want to leave it is because it's a recurring problem and we don't know how much she may have ingested She seems ok within herself, but we don't see her often enough to be sure that she is - although, as mentioned, when we catch her we will take her straight to a vet.
