Izzy, my largest corn got out a few days ago, we found her but not before the cat did, she's just fine aside from a few scratches, I was wondering if any one had any advice on what to clean her with. I rubbed her down with warm water today and cleaned out her tank and put her on paper towels. Thank you.
If there were any scratches that broke the skin I would clean them with a little peroxide to be safe.

dilute betadine would be fine also.

Actually...the Betadine (or generic povidone iodine) is better than peroxide. Peroxide has a tendency to kill of healthy tissue while it's trying to heal. Use the povidone iodine as very watered down treatment. It should look like tea when the ice has melted. Watch closely for swelling. Cats carry some pretty bad bacteria.
