My male cat got some paper stuck on his genitals; I can’t wipe it off by hand, and I don’t know if he licked it off himself. Can a cat lick it off on its own, and will paper stuck there cause problems?

Expert Answer

If paper bits stick to a male cat’s genitals, you can rinse them off with water, or let the cat lick them off by itself. Generally, if the male cat’s genitals have not been injured or infected with disease, it will not cause inflammation. If only some small paper bits are stuck on, it generally will not cause infection.

It is recommended to observe the cat closely. If paper bits remain attached to the cat’s genitals, rinse them off with warm water promptly to avoid discomfort.
