Because my kitty had ear mites, I used a cotton ball with mineral oil to
wipe out her ears.  Well, she fought, and now she has mineral oil all over
her face and head.  I have cleaned off most of it, but she can't reach and
clean the top of her head, and a few other places.  She looks awful and is
still mad at me.  I really don't want to put her in the bathtub and use baby
shampoo on a washcloth to wash her head; I fear most of the blood in my body
will be on the walls.
Can I use baby powder and a comb to absorb the oil?  Any other suggestions?
I expect one of you to suggest that I bathe her to allow her the opportunity
for payback.

The baby powder would probably work and should be safe enough.  You might
also try a dilute solution of water and alcohol.

If you'd have got the proper stuff against ear mites at the vet's you could
have saved yourself and the kitty a lot of problems. And I bet the mites are
still there too.

That's not very helpful.
