How to Keep Your Cat from Having Cling-Ons


Although it’s embarrassing to admit, our cats sometimes have problems keeping their bottoms clean. This is particularly true of obese or long-haired cats. Here’s how to minimize the smelly impact:

Keep the litter box clean. Scoop waste at least twice a day. If you have a covered litter box, remove the cover.

If your cat has messy britches because of diarrhea, talk with your vet. If there’s no disease-based reason for diarrhea, consider switching food brands.

And, of course, when you do clean your kitty, it’s easiest to take care of the mess before it hardens up. If you tug on his fur while trying to remove the cling-ons, your cat won’t appreciate your assistance.
