When will this get better??? WHO talked me in to being a mommy again????

[Laura's Babies]

I was going to suggest the same thing Jen did only she beat me to it. I had one I had to keep "clipped" back there or clean poop out of his fur.

As for the chewing, isn't there some bitter spray you can buy that will discourage that. Maybe someone here knows what I am talking about.

For chewing I use Bitter Apple. I discovered Decker likes to chew on the room darkening metal blinds so I coat them with the spray about once a week till I'm sure he's over it. It works on house plants too.

I wish I had some good advice, but the only suggestion I have is to shave the butt. I had to do this with Ellie. I can't count the number of nights I had to bathe him at midnight. I would be getting ready for bed, and smell the dreaded smell! This happened quite a bit throughout his seventeen years. I hope you have better luck than I did.

I've never had a kitten to chew. This is why I've been reluctant to get a puppy. Reading this thread now makes me reluctant to get a kitten. I've been toying with the idea, but now......

I found this at petsmart:http://www.petsmart.com/global/searc...N=2025622&Ne=2
If you have a credit card i believe that at least one of thoes should work.

Bunny, I'm sorry to hear this but things will get better. Shaving his butt area should help a lot. When my RB Pepper was very sick and had very bad diarrhea the vet shaved his butt area and it worked wonders. Ziggy still has some minor problems from time to time but usually just combing it out works well. Luckily Sky and Storm rarely ever have this problem.

Several of my cats also like to chew on cardboard or paper products. Usually they'll out grow it but Sky will still do this sometimes. I haven't tried any of the sprays but it's a good idea. Hopefully he'll out grow this habit. Good luck.
