Cat Forum / General Topics / September 2005my cat smells bad
Hello, I have a neutered male cat with long hair. He sometimes (often!) comes home smelling terrible. I tried to determine the origin of the smell, and well, it comes from his behind... Does it mean that he doesn't clean himself well enough or could it be some other problem ? And is there any way I could cover/wash this smell ?

If his motions continue to be too loose, a change to another food may help. Cats are not prolific water drinkers, and as a result, tend to have dry stools. He may be suffring from an illness if the problem continues regardless of food variation. Best o luck Jason > Hello, > I have a neutered male cat with long hair.

Is there any way you could wash the cat you ask? Hell yeah! You mean you havent washed him each time when he shat himself? To be very specific, my cat didn't appear to have soiled himself with feces. It smell more like piss... I think that maybe drops stay in his (long) fur, but then it seems other cats would clean themselves. I have another cat (short hair) which never smells. I have tried just now to put some butter close to his rear so that he licks himself. Maybe he's just a not very clean cat ???... Any other info ? > > Hello, > > I have a neutered male cat with long hair. He sometimes (often!) comes home [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Is there any way you could wash the cat you ask?

It could also be anal gland secretions getting caught in the long fur. That's a really foul smell. Possibly trimming the long fur under the tail a little would help. Thanks 5cats, I think you have the answer, the smell doesn't seem to be urine so it must be what you suggest. Now, is there any other solution than trimming the fur (Réglisse (that's his name) might not be thoroughly pleased) ? > > To be very specific, my cat didn't appear to have soiled himself with > > feces.

If the smell is as a result of anal gland secretions, trimming the fur is NOT the solution. Call your vet and ask. If the smell is from the anal glands, the vet can fix this. >> > To be very specific, my cat didn't appear to have soiled himself with >> > feces. It smell more like piss...

He sometimes (often!) comes [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Tanks wid by dose pinched > Danièle The smell is from what he's eating, giving him a better quality food at home should help. Really soft stinky poop or diarrhea could be a sign of worms or other intestinal parisites. In that case, get him to a vet for test & treatment.

The cat belongs to my elderly mother and when she smells she gets trimmed and a good bath--which she hates the cat not my mom well her too :-). I had another short hair balck cat that when he go neutered refused to clean his rear we got our revenge wipe his but with vaseline and forced him to clean himself. He learned the hard way clean himself or get something that makes his instincts take over By the way anone ever seen a cat with vaseline on their fur worse than a dog with peanut butter ROFLMAO |
