My partner has a Turkish Angora cat (white and super fluffy) who’s going to the vet today because he’s been lethargic and super poopy over the weekend. The amount of times we’ve had to clean poop off him, the floor, ourselves, is wild. We were doing it with two people though so it was okay. Today I’m solo and he just tore my palm to shreds while I was trying to clean his butt for the second time today. Okay, dude, keep your nasty butt, I’m done.
If he’s had some poop issues, perhaps the butt area is a bit irritated or sensitive, so maybe getting it cleaned is a bit painful for poor kitty. And of course there’s the indignity. Hopefully vet can help!
Don’t you just wish they understood “I’m trying to help you!!!” Silly animals. Hope he’s okay though! And your palm heals quickly!
