"she has a very clean ..."
Got home last night and DH informed me that "Oscar has a very clean butt."
Apparently, Eric had been lying down and Oscar walked right up onto his chest and stood there with her, um, tail about about 2 inches from his nose. I told him it could have been worse ... her butt could have been dirty! I really don't understand why she feels the need to point her butt at us, but there it is. -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted! Eros has a home now! *cheer!* |

It's a very important element of kitten care that the mom checks and cleans the kittens' rear ends. As you've probably read here, the really teeny ones need mom to help them poop. When a kitty sticks her butt in your face, it's tantamount to her calling you "Mommy."

I lack a sense of smell, but to most people I suspect all cat butts smell the same. To each other though, I believe the scent from the anal glands makes them all smell different. Only one of my cats will put his butt in my face, but I always grab him, pantomime sniffing his butt, and say, "Is that my Sumo? Let me smell that butt to make sure it's my little boy."

She wants you to smell it - seriously. She's being submissive. My Peewee thinks he lawys has to smell Mimi's butt after they eat. Drives her nuts! -L. |

TuTu always offers her butt just before she gets her nightly "water drops". I tell her they don't go in that end, they go in the mouth. MLB |

As long as the butt is not loaded, you should be safe. Well... you should be safe, most of the time. I have had cats get in that position and then break wind.
