You can try to squeeze the cat's anal glands. The premise is to fix the cat, lift the cat's tail upward, place your thumb and index finger on the anal glands, and gently squeeze the anal glands. If you are not skilled at it or if the anal glands are inflamed, it is best not to handle it yourself, but to take the cat to the hospital and let professionals handle it.

Steps to express the cat’s anal glands:

1. First touch the position of the cat’s anal glands. If you can clearly feel two small beans, It means that the anal glands need to be cleaned.

2. Prepare gloves, paper towels, and clippers, appropriately cut the fur covering the anus, and locate the small holes on both sides of the anus.

3. Place your thumb and index finger on the anal gland, and squeeze slightly toward the middle. Do not use excessive force, otherwise it will cause pain to the cat and may cause anal gland inflammation.

4. Before squeezing the anal glands, be sure to block the anal gland openings with toilet paper to prevent liquid from spraying on the face.
