Poor Lucy can't clean her bum bless her!! The vet shaved it for her, but she is still getting messy, and she hates being cleaned, I can get a few wipes with a baby wipe daily, but it isn't enough - any other tips for doing it?

Is she having problems with loose stool? Shaving should help. If she's still having problems you might need the vet to check for other things.

Try a warm washcloth and some soap. Problem is the more you wash, the more sensitive it will be and no wonder she doesn't like you doing it every day.

No, it is just cos she is twice the weight she should be, so she literally can't reach to clean anything, so it is the wee I am concerned about as well. She tolerated a warm flannel a bit more than the baby wipes, might do it less often

Yeah, I would just try a warm wash cloth as well. There's not much else you can do short of taking her to a groomer every day! But maybe she doesn't like the chill of the baby wipes. After all, a cats internal temp is higher then ours and I wouldn't want a cool baby wipe down there!
