Sticky Buds

[caddy_dabby]

What would be the best way to get those little sticky buds out of a long haired cats tail. This is a cat who does not particulaly let you groom him for long either, you have to catch him whilst hes eating as it is the only time he is happy.
Thanks:)

Lay in wait by the food bowl and grab as many as you can before kitty dashes off!!!

Sorry - not much help I am afriad!

Can you 'tease' them out of his coat wearing a rubber glove?:?

Is there a cat grooming product you could spray - sort of like a conditioner to make the coat silkier and help release the stickies?
I realise it would have to be very gentle, as puss may ingest it whilst grooming, but maybe there is something?
