I took Oliver to the vet twice last month because of the butt scooting and licking, though he had diarrhea then as well. He doesn't have worms and his anal glands are fine. They said it could be his diet. He was getting Fancy Feast varieties and crap dry for the first visit, then Fancy Feast Classics and the occasional raw by the second. Now he gets all raw.
The butt scooting and licking persist and his anus looks very irritated with dark red spots, though the rest is not pink as it sometimes gets. What else could it be? Could he be allergic to his litter? I use Precious Cat Premium Ultra Multi-cat Clumping. Any other possibilities?
Also, his stools are normal, I think. Since going raw, they're like little, odorless tootsie rolls. And he doesn't seem to be having any issues or discomfort using his boxes. His behavior is otherwise normal.
