Cats can be a joy to have, but long hair cats can require extra care. Especially when it comes to poop, in the rectal area. Cats are known to be clean, but this situation does happen. It can be the poop just gets stuck, or they just can't reach it to clean it off. Either way, you are the one left to help them. Here are a few tips that may help you with that.
The first thing you want to do is gently corral your pet cat. Do this carefully or the pet cat will get upset. You want to be in a relaxed setting in a room that you can close the door. Next have some treats handy to tempt your cat with. This is a important step you don't want to skip.
Now it's time to evaluate the amount of feces in the area. Sometimes it can be wiped sometimes it needs to be cut. If you have a skittish cat you may have to try another approach.
For dry feces you might be able to just chip it off with your hand wearing a glove. Then gently comb or brush the rest off. This dry feces can really get stuck to the hair so try your best not to tug the hair.
For damp feces stuck to the cat hair, use a thoroughly moist towel to wipe your pet cat. You may need several towels to do this.
Usually if there is just a little bit of feces it is nothing to worry about.
Untreated, can cause skin infections, so if you can not do the cleaning your self you may need a professional.
