Why does my cat’s bottom smell bad?

A cat’s smelly bottom may be because feces stuck to its fur; the owner can wipe the bottom clean with a towel. If the cat has diarrhea, find the cause and treat it, and give some probiotics. Also, a smelly bottom can come from inflamed anal glands; the owner can express the glands and apply an anti-inflammatory medicine.

In addition, during heat a cat’s genitals and bottom also give off an odor – this is normal.
