So here we are with our 12-13 week old kittens. Anyways, one of the kittens has a very dirty bottom. It takes about half an hour just to clean his bottom and I know it hurts him and is very sore. Not only that but it is very hard and takes forever to remove the poo but it is stained to his tail and his legs and they are both stained yellow. At the time of writing this he keeps on trying to jump to me but I just don't want him on me and have to take him down. He is a VERY attention seeking cat and has a good nature and loves guests that come into our home. However a day after we clean his bottom it starts to get dirty again and we know how much cats hate water and baths so we try not to give him one, especially because it's very hard and time consuming, it hurts him and he always gets cold and we don't want him to get sick. With all the 10 cats I have never encountered this problem and it has only started happening two weeks ago. His sister had a dirty bottom but she cleaned it and is still clean and she continues to clean that area. However he will not lick himself and we want to be able to get him to start licking that area removing the poo, and we can't get the stain out of his back feet and his tail, but we know him licking himself will eventually get rid of the stains. So after this long post, I ask, how do we get him to clean that area himself. I love him and he always tries to come to us, but the furniture is just stained with poo and there is pieces of poo stuck to his bottom and I don't want him on me getting my clothes dirty, as much as I love him. I've read that putting butter on the are might do the trick, but I would like to use other methods, and if there isn't one I will result to putting butter on his bottom. One of the two kittens, or maybe both usually poo in the litter tray, but sometimes they'll poo next to it. We do usually have 2 or 3 litter trays put down and clean them regularly, so there is some reason for them doing so.
Thanks for your time reading this and I hope I get a solution.
