Segments of stool may adhere to their long hair and later fall off or be removed by the cat during grooming.
Cats remove adhered feces by pulling out the soiled hair or by rubbing against the floor.
Punishment for fecal soiling is not effective and only confuses your pet and makes it more anxious. Instead, a professional groomer or veterinary technician can carefully trim the long hair beneath the tail, around the anus and genitals, and at the back of the thighs. This makes maintenance grooming much easier. Copyright 2000 Tomball Veterinary Clinic. All Rights Reserved Web site designed and maintained by 202 South Web Designs, Inc.
