Kids will be kids.

Nimbus has fabulous pantaloons...a very fuzzy bottom. When we first got him, and we had that Swheat-Scoop litter, he'd get bits stuck to his behind. That was part the litter, and part the fact that at first he was sickly and new and stressed, and not grooming himself very well. But within 2 weeks he was all settled in and he is absolutely fastidious since. He's forever engaged in the business of cat-washing. He has nothing unsightly on his bum, and he only gets wee little mats once in a blue moon in spots that are hard to reach like deep in his armpits. But I did, on about the third day he was in our home, trim up his butt-fur so he wouldn't have stuff clinging so much. Since then he hasn't had that problem.

Phaedra is a medium haired cat with lush pantaloons and always had abnormally soft bowel movements. This adds to the dingleberry problem for her. We really have to trim around her butt and upper thighs to help her stay clean. It doesn't happen often but it does happen if not trimmed. She never gets matted fur, even in her armpits. It's just how her fur is.

I have a very handsome black cat - handsome, but gross. LOL. He's sneezed right in my face a few times. Once I had him on my lap and was trying to clip his back nails. He expressed his anal glands on my sweatpants. The most recent adventure was getting rid of a cheese cyst on his chest. His partner-in-crime, the grey one, has a habit of gulping down her food like it's her last meal. Because of this, I've had the pleasure of cleaning lumps of barely-chewed mucousy morsels from various areas of my house.

The cute far outweighs the gross, though.

LMAO!! I have a puker as well. I hear the noise start and almost fly down stairs to make sure he's off the carpet. I spent 3000 thou at the vet for them to tell me he has a sensitive stomach and cat IBS>

The others just get their bums wiped on occasion. I know they wouldn't do the same for me. lol
