Default "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.

FWIW, it's a compliment. 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."

It can also be a way to confirm the identity of the cat. 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."

I was always having to tell Rosie when she would stick her butt in my face,
"You are a grown up cat, I am not your mother. Your butt is your
responsibility"

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!

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
