do some cats have harmless anal spray? i don't think i've ever heard the term.

eta: on second thought, there can't be such a thing as harmless anal spray.

if the wind blows just right supposedly you can kick a cat 40yds. maybe its time to test out that theory, either that or practice for the upcoming duct tape challenge.

Cats don't usually spray diarrhea...not while being petted, not while walking on beds, etc. You might want to take the poor kitty to the vet for a check up

If/when you see her drag her butt across the floor/ground/carpet, that's usually an indicator that the anal glands are full and/or impacted.

Google "dog anal glands" for tips on how to express them for her......

Aren't pets FUN???

LOL!

I had two dogs as a kid and don't remember anal glands at all. Then I got a pug, and a mastiff puppy, and a bunch of friends got dogs... it's like a minefield of butt juice up in here. Some when petted, some when scared, some randomly... ugh.

I have a specific way of describing the odor to acquaintances that I will spare you from. It's quite evocative.

I guess this is the one situation where being anal-retentive is a good thing ... :-(

I'm with Linda on the vet idea and if kitty doesn't go outside, I'm betting she has stopped up glands which can be very messy and stinky! Vet can express them or you can, but I'd fear for kitty....
