My 1 yr old kitty leaks a small amount of anal fluid from time to time. A couple of times this has happened on my quilt! >.< It is very stinky and gross... I suspect the furthest back this has occurred is January. I am trying to figure out why this occurs.
My other cat had this happen a couple times when I first got him. I had his anal glands expressed and they told me his left one seemed a bit full at that time. I suspected it was due to food change and potentially the high amount of fat in the kitten food he was on.
Sometimes I am not always aware of who the culprit is, but the last couple of times it has definitely been the same kitty. I find it interesting that it has happened in BOTH my cats, not just one!
I highly doubt there is any infection or impaction going on; he is using the litter box regularly and I even saw him poop earlier this week and it seemed well formed.. Although it did not come out pellet like, it was all one...uh.... structure? lol!
Is it a food allergy?? Too oily of food?? Worms??
