Remove skunk smell?
It helps if you bath in tomato juice or pasteActually tomato juice and/or tomato paste will not remove skunk odor from anything. People believe this works because when someone has been exposed to skunk odor for several minutes their nose begins to get used to the smell (olfactory fatigue) then when a strong new odor (like tomato juice) is smelled, their sense of smell becomes overwhelmed and can only smell the tomato juice.Think about it, when you walk into Italian restaurants you usually smell a strong garlic odor, but after you're in the restaurant for ten minutes you don't smell the odor anymore. But if you were only in the restaurant for 3 minutes and someone opened a can of tomato juice beneath your nose you wouldn't smell the garlic anymore! It's amazing how the human olfactory system works.

This might sound crazy, but give it the same treatment as humans: a bath in tomato juice. If this doesn't work, put tomato juice in a spray-bottle and spray it --- NOT in the eyes! But after, be sure to give your cat a normal shampoo with cat shampoo. This will get rid of the tomato scent, and when she bathes herself she won't get a mouthful of tomato. [Cats hate veggies.]
