Well, really, she's just a kitten, only 8 wks old. I think she was taken too soon from her mama, but I didn't get a say in that.
She eats her dry kitten food just fine, drinks water, and can get up on something as high as our coffee table with just one jump.
She also bathes herself. I know she does, as I've seen her do it. But several times she has shared her smelly butt with me. If it is really, really bad, I'll wipe her with a wet piece of tissue.
But other times, oh too many other times in just the few days I've had her... I can't help but sing the Smelly Cat song to her.
Any ideas how to encourage her to clean her butt better, or sooner, or something? The only other time I've had this problem with a cat, I also had a littermate for him who did all the cleaning of the butthole area. My older cat is not that cool with her even being here yet, much less with cleaning her butt for her!
