In this regard, it is recommended that the owner check whether the hair on the cat’s buttocks is stained with feces. If so, you can use pet-specific wet wipes to wipe and clean the cat after each defecation, and wipe the area around the anus that is easily contaminated with feces. Shave the hair cleanly so that the local odor of the cat can be reduced to a minimum.

2. Anal gland inflammation

If the owner does not clean the cat’s anal glands for a long time, resulting in inflammation of the anal glands, a foul odor will emit, and in severe cases, the cat will develop anal gland inflammation. Discharge, suppuration, etc. appear in the perianal area. If this is the case, you need to clean up the excess fluid in the cat's anal glands in time. If suppuration or infection occurs, you need to use relevant anti-infective drugs and pay attention to the cleaning of the cat's anus.
