My 5 month old Himilayan daily gets poop and pee on her tail, back legs and around her private area, her poop is formed, She smells, I bath her 2-3 times a week because of the smell, She also has some of the kitty litter stuck to her. I have tried several different brands. I have tried cutting some of her hair in these areas but doesn't seem to help much. Does she not know that she is supposed to squat and lift her tail to keep herself out of the stuff?

A quick dunk in some warm water (which he didn't like) fixed the problem. In my case he's such a sweet little lad I'll deal with the yuck factor.

Because cats are well known for keeping themselves clean so i'm sure once she grows up she'll look after herself in that department, but sometimes they need a little help, especially when their small like 5 months 

He grew out of it though as i'm sure yours will. I mean a child can 'wash' itself but not to great level but learns too. It's just the same with little kitty I am sure it will improve but sometimes accidents do happen, bless.
My girls are very clean, the boys are a different story. But I keep them shaved and it helps a lot
