My boyfriend and I have two five-month old flamepoint Himalayan kittens - both male, and brothers. They are healthy, fun, and generally well-behaved (aside from the usual kitten mischieviousness!). We're having a problem, however, with one of them: there isn't really a way to put it that isn't gross, but he's having pieces of poo stick to the fur at his back end. I have to give him a bath to get it all off if we notice it when it's still fresh (ew) and it's really unpleasant for the cat as well as for us. The cat himself seems to realize that this is a problem and attempts to remove the clingons on his own - often creating "scoot" marks on the rug and tile that add to the smell and grossness of the issue.
He always goes to the bathroom in his catbox and obviously doesn't intentionally leave his fur unclean - and does his best to remove it. However, it is kind of unsettling for us to not know where we might have missed a scoot mark, go through the hassle of cleaning him, etc. Does anyone have experience with this or ideas on how to prevent it?
