My Cat Keeps Rubbing His Bum On The Floor

Cat scooting and allergies.

My cat keeps rubbing his bum on the floor.

My husband and i just got a dog from the city pound and it s rubbing it s little butt on the floor. A cat dragging its bum on the floor after pooping usually has an unclean bottom. You may also consider supplementing the diet with bone meal elements. Cats love toilet paper but do utilize it for its intended use.

I m not sure where or what. But there are a couple of other issues that can cause a cat to use your carpet as toilet paper. If our stools are soft or we get diarrhea we might drag our bottom across the floor to clean off the cling ons. This type of diet encourages proper bowel movement and alleviates any possibilities of anal gland infection.

The pet has fluids in the back area that are full and need to be released. We just found a new groomer from a woman who had a dog. Usually this means a cat s rear is itchy or. Poop stuck to a cat s bum is no fun for anybody.

Dragging their bottom on the carpet is the next best thing. I agree with seatle it s called impaction where a cat cannt express their anal galnds regularly so the material within builds up and turns into a waxy hard impacted mess. There are three main reasons why a cat might drag his bottom across the floor. You can feed him or her foods that are dry or foods that are rich in fiber.

Let us reassure you that it s not because it feels good to do so. To prevent your cat from dragging her bum on the floor or carpet again avoid feeding your cat wet food. Poop streaks on the floor are the first and most obvious concern. Scooting which is the polite term for a pet dragging his butt along the ground is seen more often in dogs but cat scooting happens sometimes too.

The problem may also be due to whatever you re feeding your cat. However sometimes this issue occurs when a feline discovers that something about their litter box is not up to their requirements. My mother s dog used to have this problem and the vet would remove the fluids. If you see your cat dragging his or her bottom there may be something in or around your home affecting the feline.
