My parents found a tiny orphan kitten down in Pasadena, TX. According to my dad it wasn’t doing well n barely eating so they took it to a vet who explained due to its young age the mother will lick their butt to stimulate a bowel movement. Apparently it wasn’t doing well because it was full of poop n if the baby was unable to go it would die. My mom looked horrified n sad “well it’s gonna die cuz I’m not doing that”. The vet laughed n explained she can dampen a wash cloth in warm water to gently massage the rectum. 😂

[@persnikitty3570]

Did this to a rescue kitten my brother brought back while I was staying with them. Dampen soft cloth and gently wipe to stimulate pooping, sorted. Mock attack, chirp/chatting and crumpled paper balls for hunting, sorted. That tiny Calico learned and grew, and became a neighborhood cat with multiple temporary owners. Been almost 10 years, and every so often, Tracy shows up with a different collar.

I had a cat that had anal gland issues. I had to take her into the vet once a month so they could express her anal glands. The vet and I finally decided to have her anal glands removed because they were giving her so much trouble. There are some risks with the surgery, but we were lucky that didn't happen. She was very happy she didn't have to go to the vet every month. I have never met another cat owner who had a cat with anal gland issues. I guess I won the cat anal gland lottery. lol!

[@richardowens9061]

One potential problem cats can develop is colon cancer, as was the case with our cat Neutron last year. The problem began manifesting itself after he went to the litter box. He would plop himself down on the floor and immediately start licking his butt or scooting his butt across the floor - neither of which are particularly unusual with cats. Eventually, though, we began noticing that he would excrete a small amount of mucous with a very small amount of blood after going to the litter box. This prompted us to take him to the veteranarian. He tested negative for parasites and worms. We had him x-rayed which revealed the underlying problem. His colon was surrounded by a tumor that was constricting it right inside the anus. The colon had been reduced in size to about 3/8 of an inch. This was causing him to strain while defecating and was responsible for the mucous and blood. The condition was inoperable, as it would have required the removal of the fairly large tumor (about 3 inches in diameter) and the last portion of his colon, along with reattachment of the remaining colon and, the distinct possibility of the condition recurring. It was also destined to continue getting worse, culminating in complete blockage. To spare him the inevitable pain and suffering, we made the difficult choice to have our friend of 12 years euthanized, leaving his brother, Proton, without his best friend. Just writing this brought tears to my eyes.

We once had a cat that was too chubby to clean her butt effectively and she developed E-coli. Luckily it was treatable and I did help her out with her grooming.

My cat is a little overweight so it is difficult for her to clean her own butt. I was surprised that my little dog started to lick her butt for her. The cat will lay on her back asking for the cleaning. At times she will do that to me so I try to get a wet paper towel and wipe her butt for her. The vet said it was ok for the dog to do her thing cleaning the cat’s butt. We had the cats before the dog as a puppy so she thinks she is really a cat. Weird animals but I love them. ❤❤

[@barbaraperry5023]

Little known fact: if your kitty has constipation, hairballs, or anal gland issues, often adding canned solid pack pumpkin to their food may help. Rather like Metamucil, it increases fiber content,& has a mild laxative effect. You don't need much; just a spoonful or two.(ln the interests of economy, l will freeze some in an ice cube tray, then put the pumpkin cubes into a ziploc bag in freezer - you can easily defrost a small amount,& don't waste an entire can due to spoilage.) Works great for dogs, too! The slightly sweet taste appeals to them,& there aren't any additives or chemicals to upset your pets' tummies... Veterinarian recommended. 😸❤😼

Everybody knows the cat's butt is the control center of the central nervous system. It controls critical functions like breathing, heartrate, and tactical planning for combat scenarios. Science has shown that if you remove a cat's butt, mobility, thermal control, and quality of life are reduced. It is thought the cat's butt is a highly specialized and evolved organ. However, even with all this knowledge, we still have so much to learn about a cat's butt. Fully understanding the qualities and functions of a cat's butt could lead to potential cures for many diseases. Cat butt research is a rapidly expanding field.
