We always wipe Max's bum with toilet paper after he's been(gently), I don't know if this is normal behaviour but it's never seemed to bother him. This was until a couple of weeks ago when he had a bad tummy, & I think he was a bit sore down there when we wiped him. The past couple of days he's been running away after he's been, & dragging his bum on our brand new carpet before we can get to him! Any suggestions as to what we can do, we've thought about closing the bathroom door where his litterbox is & wiping him before he can run away, but we obviously don't want to scare him into not using his box??
