Cat Always drops a piece of poop on the ground

Cat Always drops a piece of poop on the ground may be due to the fact that the hair around the cat's butt is too long, so it is easy to stick to the poop during defecation. As the cat moves, the poop may fall to the ground. In addition, if the cat has diarrhea or soft stool, due to the softness of the feces, if it does not clean up thoroughly after going to the bathroom, there may be leakage of poop. Also, if there is a problem with the cat's butt or sphincter muscle contraction, it will also lead to the cat being unable to control the excretion of feces.

  1. Long hair

If the hair around the cat's butt is long, it is more likely to get poop on it during defecation. When the cat leaves the litter box, the poop may fall to the ground. In this case, the owner can trim the hair around the cat's butt shorter, and also use wet wipes to clean the cat's butt after each bowel movement.

  1. Diarrhea

When a cat has diarrhea or soft stool, long-haired and short-haired cats are prone to leave feces around their buttocks, and the feces may fall to the ground as they move. At this time, the owner can check the cat's feces. If there really is a case of diarrhea or soft stool, it is necessary to consult a pet doctor for medical treatment in a timely manner. Once the diarrhea is treated, the cat's leakage problem will disappear.

  1. Abnormal contraction of the butt or sphincter muscle

If there is a problem with the cat's anus or sphincter muscle contraction, the cat will be unable to control the excretion of feces and may have leakage. This is a serious situation, and if not handled promptly, it may lead to prolapse of the cat's anus. Therefore, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for inspection and treatment in a timely manner.
