Cat's droppings around the house
I don't know about the tail, but the fur can be an issue. We have one
cat with a fluffy butt and when I see a stray dropping, I know we've waited to long to trim him! We have one person hold him and the other trim with a regular scissors. Rhonda Myriam Abramson wrote: Hiya! My new cat Simbah does not clean after himself too well. There are often droppings around the house and today, I finally stepped on one! My understanding is that either he is constipated or that his fur keeps his poop attached for some time before he shakes it off. It's a manx, adorable and very social. Is that something peculiar to this breed maybe due to the absence of tail? Is there something that can be done? Help ... myriam |

What is funny is that she hates it while we are doing it, but afterward looks very pleased with herself, as though she has just come from the salon. |

I don't think he is to the proud-of-his-butt stage yet. He just runs away like "Whew, I escaped." Rhonda |

Rhonda I used to get poop shoots for Grant and Sugar (Grant is no longer with me and Sugar seems to have gotten over the problem). The vet did it in 2 minutes flat at their check ups. They seemed to love being free and breezy once it was done. I think it is less work for them then. |

The vet did it in 2 minutes flat at their check ups. They seemed to love being free and breezy once it was done. I think it is less work for them then. Shadow always seemed ok with it once it was done, because he wouldn't let me clean him up back there when he had the chronic diarrhea. He hated it while it was being done, and he surprised me with his strength at times, so I had to have someone else do it. First time it was a groomer, but they didn't shave close enough, so the vets office did it every 6 months or so. Sure looked funny but we didn't laugh at him. -- Cheryl |
