Help! My Sphynx booty never stays clean

[Peeweekiwi]

It’s not the usual dingleberry that she gets here and there. It’s like smeared on her bum area. She got a little bit of it on our throw blanket. It’s not an every day thing but should I reduce her wet food intake and add in more of her dry food?

I actually wipe my boy’s booty every time I notice he’s had a poop. Otherwise there’s always some crusty there. I’ve heard people say they put some coconut oil there to soften and then wipe it away.

You have to wipe their bums every time they poo every day. It’s part of owning them. We use fragrance free Huggies baby wipes.

hugs.. fortunate with my 4 I don't have to booty wipe. I noticed in the beginning when I fed Acana dry they had dirty bums. no more. I personally would not reduce wet food, its good to feed wet. sometimes just finding the right combination. what food do you feed?

I used what the breeder recommended. Blue wilderness kitten food . What do you feed yours?

Yeah I purchased the same wipes . I figured it was just apart of owning them. I just wasn’t sure if it was something I was doing thank you for your response.

@Peeweekiwi you are doing great! Make sure you don’t get fragranced ones only hypoallergenic.

I only wipe Rankle's bum if it's wet and dirty. He screams the house down and acts like I'm trying to kill him every time I do it which isn't good for our relationship (I still bear scars from previous attempts). Neither of us find it pleasant so it's reserved for those really "special" occasions.

Each time Luna gets done pooping she takes off running because she knows mama and daddy are on their way with the booty wipes!!!!!

When my dog, yes, dog, don't have my kitty yet, was alive, I made it a habit to wipe his bum! He would even go directly into the bathroom after relieving himself outside so he could be cleaned! Lol I plan on getting my kitten used to having her bum cleaned too so she's used to it.

Yes, agreed. I also clean their paws with baby wipe. My two are still young kittens - 4 and 5 months. Bentley (4 mo old female) has not mastered pooping w/o getting it on her leg, paw or tail. She also always has poo booty. Jackson is better, but still necessary to clean paws as they dig to find a spot and then cover. Some of the brown on the wipe is likely oil, but..... still don't want feces residue all over the house.

I find if I can catch my baby after the litter box I'll wipe her bottom with organic coconut oil. You said it doesn't happen often, so I would take note when it does happen. Have you changed her food and/or treats? That could cause loose stool. I find this breed to have more sensitivity to food than most cats. Poop booty is part of owning a sphynx!

With dry food I don't have this issue but get it sometimes with wet food. The output hole is usually covered with the tail and I think (this is kinda nasty) I've seen mine self cleaning the output hole just like they clean their paws.

For persistent smelly brown butt we use a warm water with 100% cotton Swisspers pad and hold it there with some Vaseline then repeat works a miracle.

I have found since our girl is on medication for her IBD and special food we haven’t had to use baby wipes as much probably 80% less which is a miracle.
