use dawn dish detergent and warm water u will have to wash her a couple times but it will break down the oils in the fur and should clean it up fairly well .

Give her a bath. Put some dish detergent on the oil, but use cat shampoo for the rest. It should take it out or at least most of it.

Yes your cat can get ill, even die from licking the oil off it's fur. I would use a deep cleansing shampoo for animals. You may have to shampoo many times. You can also take it to pet groomers and have them shampoo for you. You can check at Pets Mart or Petco for a shampoo that is safe to use on your cat.

Give her a bath.
Just because cats don't like to get wet dosen't mean it will hurt her.
Do be careful some cats scratch, Luckily mine don't.
Also be careful not to use a strong shampoo as cats don't have oil glands in their skin and a stong shampoo will dry out her skin

daybreak dish cleansing soap will in all possibility artwork. on the hot advertisement for the cleansing soap, it says that they apply it to animals they locate in oil spills (and it does a particularly darn sturdy activity of slicing grease with the dishes!), so why no longer apply it to a cat who has vehicle oil on her fur?

Use a small amount of dish soap will cut through the oil and clean her fur well.

put anti-freeze on the cat. this happened to me last summer. i put about 4 cups of anti-freeze on the cat and it made it so the oil could be washed off with the hose (which the cat hated). good luck!

Please, please DO NOT use anti freeze. Anti freeze is sweet tasting and a very small amount can kill a pet.
Use Dawn dish soap.
"If you are attempting to remove grease, oil, or other petroleum products from your cat's fur, try using Dawn brand detergent first to remove it, and follow up with a cat shampoo."

Clarifying shampoo(clear) will pull the grease out.....make sure not to get it in it's eyes and ears...also have a strong helper on hand...cats are hell to bathe.
