Seriously, can a cat be trained to wipe its own butt (whout dragging it across the floor)? Because it's either that, or I need to get a groomer to shave Bella's butt fur. Oh it's cute and all. Fluffy kitty butt.
But fluffy kitty butt combined with stupid kitty means that frequently what happens in the litterbox does not stay in the litterbox. Usually this happens when I'm not at home, and by the time I notice that Bella's being attacked by Klingons, they're dry, and easily pulled out. Yeah.. not so this time.
To all who have had cats, I think you'll agree that cat shit is seriously some of the worst smelling shit in the whole of the animal kingdom. Now imagine that smell being wafted around your home by an adorable cat that just loves to snuggle with you. It took two scruffings and a lot of paper towels to get the major part of the offender out of her butt hair. But the problem was... well.. it was... er.... squishy. So it left... um... parts behind that were... squishy.
Ew.
So get a warm washcloth and scruff the cat again to wipe her butt. I *think* I got as much as a human can get, and got enough that the cats will naturally clean up the rest. But (har har), I have a very pissed off cat. It's like her hero that she just got to meet is really an asshole. (.... does that mean she's Leela and I'm Zap Brannigan? I didn't invent Brannigan's Law, I just enforce it.)
She's hiding under the bed. I hope she forgives me soon. But seriously... can cats be trained to wipe their own butts? Even the stupid ones? (cats, not butts)
