Related: About this forumMy cat Chester got sprayed by a skunk today.
He is so good natured with me, I took him for a bath while his initial squirming lasted about 30 seconds he was purring in a minute. Good thing he is 16 pounds of muscle.
Still has some smell but nothing like it was, I used baking soda and rinsed him well.
A video of him at about a year old at 12 pounds. We got him at a animal shelter when he was 6 months old he ran right up to me when we got there. He turned five this year.

(4,489 posts)Sounds like he's a good kitty boy. Purring in the bath, I hope you had a gas mask or something to get through his bath.
I'll bet you took a shower or 3 or 4 after getting, Chester cleaned up.

(11,888 posts)I came across Odormute many years ago when my senior dog started having "accidents." The biggest test was when my other dog was "skunked." Worked like a charm. Compared to other enzyme based products, it's dirt cheap (you just mix up when needed -- a small package of powder has lasted ages).

Skunk Odor on Pets
DIRECTIONS: When your dog or cat gets skunked, it is best to bathe your pet outdoors in order to avoid getting in contact with any household items. Wear gloves to avoid contact with the skunk odor.
Thoroughly soak your pets coat with the Odormute solution. Avoid direct contact with the pets eyes; use a soaked washcloth if needed around eyes, nose and mouth. Allow the mixture to dry for about 1 hour. Once dry, rinse your pet thoroughly with cool water, then repeat by washing your pet with cool water again. If skunk odor is still detected, repeat the entire process.
Once odor is eliminated, wash your pet with your favorite pet shampoo. Enzymes may be irritating to skin on some animals. If skin redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use and wash your pet thoroughly with water.
