Does anyone have any idea on how I can de-wax my cats tail?

I have one of those candle warmers but the candle I used wasn’t in a jar, so it’s just a bowl of wax. I think my cat was bird watching and idle tail flicking and dipped his tail in the melted wax. Anyway, an inch at the end of his tail is waxed and it’s driving him nuts. (And me, he’s been very verbal about how displeased he is with the situation and the fact that I haven’t rectified it yet.) I know all kinds of ways to get wax up or off of everything else, I’ve just never had to de-wax a cat before. Any suggestions?
