My rescued male cat, Fang, is a sweetheart, but he does not clean his bottom.
He is chubby, but I know he can reach it because he reaches it just fine after I give it a good scrub. It is gross, it just builds up and gets caked on there. He has very short hair, so it is out in plain view. Should have named him crusty. I don't wash him every day because he hates when I do it, and for a while, I think I traumatized him because I WAS grabbing him as soon as he stepped out of the litter pan. I had to stop that, because he started running as soon as he was done, spilling litter all over the place. poor thing. Now I wait a few days, and we go into the bathroom, shut the door, and gently clean him, but in the mean time he is sitting on my furniture, and my bed. I am grossed out by it. Is there a way I can teach this guy how to clean his butt?
