Thread: Cat Poop stuck to fur!!

I occasionally have this happening with my older moggie, who is very longhaired and not as agile as he used to be. I just clean it off, which is a bit of a battle I must admit: grab him under my left arm, tail end facing, have a pile of tissue and a warm wet rag at the ready, do it quickly before he goes mental. The location for this is on the garden wall, and afterwards he runs round the garden in a huff for a bit.

With my old Persian cat Bob (now deceased) the vet used to shave around his back end, to avoid this very problem.

We have the problem if they are a bit 'loose' when they go, I try to be lying in wait so to speak when they have finished in the tray to check their bum, they are quite resigned to the inspection as we have done it ever since we had them.

I keep a pack of baby wipes near to the tray and if there is anything stuck to their bum give them a quick wipe.

I don't know if it is a boy thing but Hector seems to get poo on his paws as he sems to enjoy making hills out of the litter when he is done, he also watches me clean out the tray and change the litter as he has to be first in the clean tray.

I have this with one of my girls, even when everything is completely solid. I have now taken to clipping her back end so that the fur is shorter and less likely to get stuck as she really doesn't like the bath!
