I would wonder about licking it off - maybe if you rub it in very thoroughly (and gently), and then distract your cat with some treats or his favourite food, so the cream has a chance to really soak in. I looked up the toxicity levels of ingesting sun cream, and unfortunately came up with this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090517191426AABP60g so, it looks like it's not a good idea for animals, or children, to swallow or lick it. Probably your vet is right, and it's a heat rash or excema, which can be caused by heat, and the E45 cream is the best way to go. You may find this info on E45 useful: http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100000887.html though I'm not sure if it is harmful to ingest either.<br><b>References : </b><br> I expected your cat to be white, as white animals do suffer from sunburn, and it is advised to put sun cream on white cats’ ears.

My cat keeps rubbing the back of his head on the ground when he is outside which has caused the hair to start thinning and on occasion to bleed slightly too. The vet looked in his ears and said they were perfectly fine and because it was healing and was a bit scabby to try putting some E45 cream onto it. He said it looked like dry skin, i said i think he mainly does it in hot sunny weather and the vet said he could be allergic to something in the air so i still don't know for certain what it could be. Yesterday it was hot and sunny and he was doing it allot, when it is cloudy and not so hot then he wont do it and if we have a few days of crappy weather than it will start to heal up. So i was thinking because he has caused the hair to thin by doing this would i be able to rub a bit of sunscreen onto them just to help protect them when he is outside, because where the hair is thin the sun must irritate his skin. my uncle would do this for his dogs when it was really hot and sunny, They were white with short hair so i was thinking of doing the same with my cat but just his ears. Do people think this would be ok. Just wondering because cats clean themselves more then dogs but it would only be a bit i will be putting on and only in hot weather of course. The rest of the time i will be applying the E45. Thank you Would it be ok to put sunscreen on the back of my cats ears (more info inside, please read)?
