Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2005My Cat's Butt Stinks
I put my nose down there, and it stinks...what should I do? > I put my nose down there, and it stinks...what should I do? The OTHER hole fool ... the OTHER HOLE. > I put my nose down there, and it stinks...what should I do?

If it is too young to do it the parent cat will lick it clean. Since you now have the roll of parent to the cat, this is your job. Get busy!

I hand washed (using a face towel) the little guy everyday. Rusty got used to being a little wet everyday and when he started cleaning himself (about two weeks later), he was then on his own. But to the very end, Rusty would lick the back of my hand with the expectation of me "washing" behind his ears. Teach 'em early. > I put my nose down there, and it stinks...what should I do? Oh, this is just too obvious a set-up...

But you just gave Ruprecht a bath. Didn't > you soap his butt? not me, He sat down in the water, I just swished him around a little..besides everytime I turn around he's rolled up in an O, I dont know..but I tell him "your goin go blind" I know cats can tell but are you trying to pick up that talent as well? You could make a lot of money if you nail down that trick... you could invite people onto the stage, sniff their a.s and say " well I can tell you're from California but you were in Vegas last week. How was the craps table at the Flamingo?" Signature.oO rach Oo. >> Try not putting your nose there.

Signature-- ~kaeli~ The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and three hundred sixty-two admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace > I put my nose down there, and it stinks...what should I do? Hi all, I don't smell Calvin's little kitten butt, but(t) he does have a little problem? when it comes to cleaning his own and/or maybe his brother, Hobbes, butt. Someone found Calvin and Hobbes when they were about 2 days old and gave them to a kitten rescue group. They bottle fed them and did all the things a 'parent' cat does. I volunteered to be a foster caregiver and I got the boys when they were about 6 weeks old. They were pretty good except for one thing....they were still sucking on each others penis area. I would have to separate them at night (they were still very tiny and slept in really big cages) so they would break the sucking habit which they did. Now the butt part. Calvin has the cutest little very pink nose. But(t) after a few days, his little pink nose has brown stuff kinda inside on the sides! I have to take a soft cotton pad and wet it with warm water and clean his little nose...all the time!!! My friends keep telling me that he will out grow this issue but(t) I am not too sure. I have checked Hobbes' nose and his is clean. Hmmm...now that I think about it, maybe Calvin is cleaning that too!!! I feel like I have to keep Calvin's nose cleaned all the time because... 1) He likes to greet me in bed in the morning by rubbing his face and wet nose on my face. 2) I am afraid that if I let the "brown stuff" build up, then it might cause a health problem to his nose. Anyway, has anyone out there gone through this issue before? BTW....I was only to foster the boys for a little while but(t) I ended up adopting them, pink (brown) nose and all!! :-) Thanks! ~v I bet there is something you can feed the one, that will make the other dis-interested. For dogs who eat poo, you put meat tenderizer on their dog food, they quit that... Sounds like the brown nose cat, is just returning to a place of familiarity...a place of comfort...for him / back to the days of being so close to the other. > I bet there is something you can feed the one, that will make the other > dis-interested. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > familiarity...a place of comfort...for him / back to the days of being > so close to the other. Hmmm...interesting. I have never really caught Calvin in the act of cleaning Hobbes' butt. Sometimes both try to do that when they are cleaning each other when they are in their cuddle-before-sleep mood and I stop it when one goes for the other's butt area. I have a feeling that Calvin is just cleaning himself and is making his pink nose turn brown. And when I clean their little box, they have normal stools so it is not like Calvin's little butt really gets that extra dirty after he uses the box. {{sigh}} ~v My Maine Coon cats nose sometimes gets a little crusty and it is brown/black in color. It's the result of a runny nose kind of like a sinus drainage problem. I usually just scrape it off with my fingernail. Check your kittens nose to see if it is more moist than you think it should be. The drainage itself should be clear but you might want to check with the vet.

I think I will make an appointment to have it checked out. There are times when his nose seems really wet. Was there anything the vet could do to help your kitty? ~v > My Maine Coon cats nose sometimes gets a little crusty and it is brown/black > in color.
