No but tbat sounds good. Back in the 90s we were told to put zinc on them but they didn't like it much.

Doing a bit of reading online, it seems that cats could potentially get Zinc poisoning if they get too much of it?, which is curious to me, as most of the pet sunscreens you see advertise that they have Zinc in them.

The other option seems to be Titanium Dioxide which apparently isn't as toxic? 🤷‍♂️

Titanium sounds like the better option then. I wonder what the difference is from human sunscreen.

Yeah, that's the reason I was looking at the Aniwell FiltaClear, but seems I've managed to find another brand that does Titanium rather than Zinc - DR Zoo Natural Zinc Free Sun Cream for anyone that's interested.

Haven't really looked into the difference yet. Maybe something I should look into
