Illustration of how cats express anal glands

Pet Question

Cats generally do not need to squeeze their anal glands. Cats can usually clean them by themselves. Moreover, cats’ anal glands are not very developed and do not secrete much. If the cat really needs to express the anal glands, first determine the location of the cat's anal glands, and then express the anal glands.

How to squeeze in cats Illustration of anal glands

Cover the surface of the cat's anus with a piece of clean and soft toilet paper. The technique is to slowly squeeze toward the middle with force in the direction of 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions. The smell of anal glands is extremely stinky, so when squeezing the anal glands, the owner should turn his head to the side to prevent the anal glands from spraying out from the anus onto the person's face.
