We all know that cats are very clean pets, and you often see them "grooming" themselves when they have nothing to do. However, sometimes once in a while, we smell its butt and feel it stinks. So what might be the reason for this?

A butt that smells bad usually means something unusual is going on.

Today we will detail these possible reasons.

▍Knotted hair Generally speaking, if the hair around the anus is knotted and tangled together, it will easily stink. It is easy to understand that things such as feces and urine may break into the knotted hair and be absorbed into the hair ball. This is difficult for cats to clean. Generally speaking, long-haired cats with soft fur are prone to this problem. Therefore, parents who raise long-haired cats must help them comb their hair. Sometimes, it is not enough for them to comb their hair by themselves. I have summarized the reasons why the hair around the anus is knotted as follows. You can correspond one by one: your cat’s hair is long and soft, and the cat is lazy.

There may be a wound somewhere around the anus, so the hair will stick to it.

The cat is too fat and can’t lick its own butt.

The cat has arthritis and it will hurt when he curls up for grooming for a week.

▍Urinary system problems

Both bacterial and non-bacterial urinary tract problems can cause your dog's butt to smell bad.

It may be the stench of infection, or it may be that the urine is dripping and wet.

If it is a urinary tract problem, you will also observe other behaviors, such as frequent trips to the toilet, blood in the urine, random urination, etc. If you encounter this problem, go to the doctor as soon as possible for further examination.

▍Arthritis This has been mentioned above.

Arthritis is more common in older cats. Because, at this age, no matter how bad the joints are, it is really difficult to do yoga.

Old cats need you to help them comb their hair frequently, otherwise they will not be able to comb their hair for a long time, and they will not only smell bad, but also become depressed.

▍Obese cats may smell bad due to one or more of the following reasons.

As mentioned above, the hair on the back of fat cats is more likely to become tangled.

The skin and fat around the anus and genitals may be wrinkled and difficult to clean by yourself. If the skin and hair are not cleaned, bacteria are more likely to breed and emit odor. Just like older cats, you will need to groom your fat cat regularly. Especially around the anus and genitals, you can wipe them with baby wipes every day.

Besides, it’s time to lose weight.

​▍Anal glands are the same as dogs. Cats also have anal glands. There are two very hidden small holes on both sides of the anus. Usually, under normal circumstances, when a cat defecates, the contents of the anal glands are also emptied.

But there are also times when there are surprises. If the anal glands are infected, the contents will have a very strong, foul odor. In order to prevent blockage and infection, it is best to squeeze the cat while taking a bath.

If the odor is very strong, you should take the cat to the doctor, and antibiotic treatment may be needed.

▍Diarrhea

The most typical one is the extremely ugly "dung ball".

In this case, the cat has diarrhea, but it is not watery. It may be sticky, and then it is all stuck on the buttocks.

▍Other chronic diseases

Chronic diseases will torture the cat's health for a long time, which in turn will cause the cat to stop grooming itself and reduce the frequency of grooming.

In this case, the hair on the buttocks may appear in a series of states similar to the above.

Cats are not good at expressing, but they have many abnormal states if we can observe them carefully. This is equivalent to it communicating with me. So, in order to love them, you may slowly be forced to become a careful person.
