My four-month-old soon-to-be-neutered kitten isn't very good at cleaning himself. The adult cats will grab him and wash his butt for him. I tried dabbing near his rectum with butter as described in this this thread for the first time today. He was very thorough and hopefully he'll learn this habit over time.
Problem is, neither he nor the adults clean his penis sheath, which gets grimy. Not enough to block anything, just a black stain which really stands out on white fur. Would it be safe to put some butter or something similar (like coconut oil) near or around the sheath so that he cleans it in process? I don't want to hurt him!
