I use the Pethealth Sun Block Stick version and waterproof and got it from http://www.ultimateanimals.co.uk
but not sure if they still do it.  It'a a special one that is non toxic for pets as some kids ones are.

The block is like a hard cream and in a tube. (like e45 cream) and it's factor 30.  Found it better than the spray as some cats don't like the spray sound.

Good question...  I was going to ask the same thing as even though Riley has a black nose he has a pinky white stripe accross the bridge that I think could do with a bit of suncream.

I use a pet specific one - can't remember the name, but the last tube cost me £6.99. I got mine from the vets, cos it was only a penny dearer than getting it online - Smylee Pets do free p & p on it though. It comes in 3 different sorts, I got one that looked like the Colgate pump tubes.
Please spay your cat

Yes there is one but at this time in the day I cannot think of the name. Otherwise E45 (or something like that, again its a bit early for my brain to be in gear)

Sun cream for cats?

Any recommendations? This sounds daft, but are their cat specific ones on the market?
