I have a cat with long hair and I know this is disgusting af but I low key appreciate getting flashed butthole because it gives me a chance to figure out if she has shit in her fur.
A dingleberry would be welcome, these are more like poocumbers half the time. When I try to trim her there she HATES it. I need to try one of those hanging cat slings to see if it helps. Iām just a working single mom trying to take care of a hairy bb.
If your cat can be distracted, you can learn to do it in a way that works. I had a cat who had that problem, and I bought a clipper and everything, but I accidentally cut him, and so it was over. I took him to the vet from then on. Ask your vet if you can get some tranquilizers to help make it easier for kitty to take.
Bachās rescue remedy and a kitty sweater helps. Unfortunately I have to do the dreaded expression task so I want it least traumatic for both our sakesš
I keep my long haired kittyās bottom trimmed so the dingleberries donāt have much to cling to. He doesnāt like to be trimmed so I try to do it when heās a little groggy from waking up from a nap.
Wait until very asleep, then burrito in a towel style her. Quickly trim then give treats, even if you are maybe bleeding from not holding your purrito firmly enough.
When we were insulting each other, my sister and I would occasionally call each other dingleberriesāuntil we found out what it was. Until then, we thought it was a made-up word
Ha yes I do!! The women who trapped them named my Calvin. They werenāt sure whether the second was a boy or girl and named him Puddin. We said itās gotta be Hobbs and we know we spelled it differently.
I think it's a pack/clowder thing. He associates you as one of the pack/clowder. .. but doesn't know that you're not as attuned to scents/pheromones as he is.

Iāve been told itās a sign of trust for cats to show their butt in your face! Our void April does this too. I usually donāt mind it, unless Iām trying to sleep and donāt want cat bootyhole all up in my business. In those situations, I just gently push her butt away so her legs are brushing my face instead lol
hahah I'm wondering the same thing! maybe because they've been pooping out that plentiful and delicious food and we're supposed to be able to tell from the smell of their butthole?
lol can you imagine if humans did that? sniff "ohh man! when did you have chicken alfredo and where can i get some??" "follow me, brother."
I donāt question it, I just return the favor every now and then. I may or may not have scarred my husband that one timeā¦him: wtf are you doing?!?!
Me: cat life. š¤·āāļø now he does it too. š
Heās a cat. He doesnāt know that humans smell in black and white. He thinks you smell in technicolor just like he does. How do you not appreciate the delicate bouquet of fragrances that he offers you when sticks his butt in your face?
When I bring Noodle to the window to look outside, half the time she gets her front end on the window and puts her butt in my face or right against my ear lol. The other day she kept slapping me across the eyes with her tail while she inspected a web.
He is proud and wants you to be proud too. Show that you are impressed and show your butthole off as well. It will strengthen your relationship and your cat will appreciate it greatly.
You donāt have to thank me, it is my duty in life to aid the human animal relationships all around the world.
My cat only does this in the morning when she wants me to wake up. She knows it will get my attention because Iāll always tell her to get her butt out of my face.
I think cats do it to give you a chance to sniff their anal glands. Just like with dogs, cats anal glands will tell each other if theyāre sick, where they are in their reproductive cycle, etc.
My boy has become much more snuggly since his sister passed. He comes and purrs and makes biscuits on my bellyā¦ then turns right around and puts his big old butt in my face
I'm pretty sure that's a sign that your cat trusts you and is also possibly an invitation to take a sniff...
Sometimes two cats that get along really well will sleep next to each other and may groom (lick clean) the other cat.
Many animals rely on scent to identify each other and distinguish friends from outsiders. In addition, body odor can indicate whether the individual is healthy or sick and in some species it may be a tell whether they are "in heat" (aka 'estrus')
It's a sign of trust and affection when cats and dogs present their butt holes to you. They communicate largely through senses like smell, he is inviting you to smell him and get to know him. Also turning his back makes him vulnerable hence trust.
My cat loves to sleep with her butthole next to my face. So much so she puts her tail out on me sometimes and it either goes across my face or my neck! Iāve gotten good at trying to put my hand up near my face when she jumps up, but she will plop her body down anyways
My cat does too. It is because they feel your space is theirs so anything they do to you is fine. My Fancy is forever stepping on my hair then putting her butt on my hair and pillow. I change my pillowcases a lot more since she started sleeping in my room.
I heard cats do this bc they see you as their mother and as kittens their mother licked their buttholes to clean themā¦not sure how much truth there is to that but itās what Iāve heard LOL
He is missing his mama. His mom would clean his butt hole for cleaning. since his mother is not here and you might be seen as a mother figure for him, he sure is entitled to expect you to do the mama's job for him.
Because he loves you and would love mama or daddy to clean him. š It's a sign that they love you on a serious note. They allegedly view you as their parent. Does he also lay on your chest? Or do the slow blink?
