My long haired cat has had a bout of diarrhea and has stinky mess/matting around his bottom. He's a large but fairly heavy cat who is usually pretty good about grooming but I don't think he can reach this. He's also a feisty, hands-off cat "don't-even-think-about brushing-me type who is growling and striking out at me any time I make an attempt to clean it up. He stinks so much we can't stand to be around him! His last two stools have looked normal and a stool sample I took the vet yesterday didn't raise any concerns. He doesn't tolerate vet trips well either--very stressful on him.
Any suggestions on how to handle this that won't land me in the ER?
