CATDOLL : Why do cats like to rub their butts?

Reasons why cats like to rub their butts:

1. The cat litter is not clean, which causes the cat to smell bad when going to the toilet. The cat will run out without defecating completely and will rub its butt on the ground to clean it.

2. When a cat has loose stools or diarrhea, there may be feces on its buttocks, so it will choose to rub it off on the ground.

3. Some cats have blocked anal glands. At this time, the cat will feel uncomfortable and will rub on the ground to relieve the discomfort.

Cats like to rub their buttocks. The function of anal glands:

1. When cats mark their territory, they may leave their anal gland fluid on some objects or animals.

2. When a cat is frightened, stressed or nervous, it will involuntarily release anal gland fluid to maintain itself.

3. When cats defecate, the anal glands secrete fluid to help lubricate the intestines and prevent constipation.
