cats head stuck

How do you get a cats head out of a small peanut butter jar? It's really stuck. Not my cat, seems to be a stray kitten but it's in my back yard right now. Poor little thing. If it wasn't so sad it would be quite funny actually.

Is it greasy with remains of PNB? If not, try greasing it with crisco or butter. I think the key will be to calm the cat so that you can gently find the exact angle that will slip it off. Let us know what happens.

I'd cut off the end first, poor thing prob can't breath well.
ThenI'd figure out how to get the rest off. prob need to cut it

AW! poor thing!
Hope you can even catch 'em. I don't have any advice other than what's already been suggested.

Need to try and get the little thing again. It got scared when my dogs barked at it. It's sitting at the edge of the woods, dogs are in the house, so I think it will come up to me again. I'll let you know what happens.

Oh... poor little thing, I hope you can cat it again...

Poor Kitty Cat

I hope you can catch him/her! Maybe wrap it up in a towel and lube up its neck good with the puppies, of course, in another room

I'd cut the jar too if it were plastic to let air for kitty. Plus it might give you a better view of getting it lubed up. I would use probably butter or someting, maybe babyil or lotion, something that will wash off easy. Hold kitty using a thick towel. Then after that, he'd need a bath to remove the lubing...whole 'nuther thread, I am sure.

Oops, that should be catch it again not cat it again

**pita1213** · 10-26-2005, 02:16 PM

poor thing!

**Michelle** · 10-26-2005, 02:26 PM

I hope you were able to get the jar off his head. Poor thing

**Kimberlina** · 10-26-2005, 02:31 PM

Yes, I'd cut it, too. Poor little thing.

Everything fine, olive oil to the rescue! Went looking for him and not only found him but 2 other kitties, not in same condition though. All now happy hanging out in the back where they live with their Momma.

Thanks for all the help.
