My kitty keeps tracking both small & large turds outside the litter box.
Tonight, he had a tiny piece stuck to his anus, which I pulled off with a tissue. The skin underneath was reddened a bit, but seems back to normal.
This happens frequently..
Couple things:
He is short hair, not long haired.
He barely has any fur balls.
We just de-fleaed the house, and I noticed they lost a ton more fur when they had fleas.
He has access to water 24/7. Gets both dry food and wet food daily.
We did just switch to an indoor formula of the same brand of food, so less fat. (Our other kitty was putting on some weight.)
he has a beautiful silky coat (always has) and is at a great, sleek weight. He seems very healthy.
my guess is that he needs more brushing as, due to his meticulous cleaning, must just be ingesting too much fur. And the turds are holding on because of the fur connecting it all. But I wanted to get others opinions in case it could be something I'm not aware of. (Google search keeps giving me long haired cats issues of poop getting stuck to the fur.)
