When I first met Oliver in his foster home, he dragged his butt across the floor. Having never owned a cat before, I didn't think anything of it. Since I adopted him, he's done that periodically, and since he leaves little skid marks for me to clean up, I figured it was just an issue of keeping himself clean. Similarly, licking his anus, I thought that was also just him keeping the area clean. However, he is spending more and more time licking his bottom. He's an indoor only cat but is a feral rescue, and having seen him drag his butt at the foster home, I'm thinking he may have already had worms when I adopted him.
That noted, I just checked his medical records. He went to the vet on Oct 11 (I adopted him Nov 16) for vomiting and fever and part of the exam ruled out a GI parasite. So meh... any insight? Could he just be keeping a clean butt?
