Cat's rear end smells like urine

I concur w/all that Laura's Babies said. And definitely talk to your vet about putting your sweet kitty on a diet. I have an overweight cat, too, b/c she's on steroids for allergies. She's a short hair, though, so whatever she can't reach, I can easily clean. Good luck w/this and please let us know how it all turns out. Your poor kitty must be so miserable.

I would also see that she gets a lot more water into her to dilute her urine.
Add water to wet food, syringe some into her mouth or however you have to do it. (And a D... wouldn't hurt either.)

I have a small semi-feral cat that has no control over her body functions. She smells bad most of the time! Sometimes I have to corner her to pull the poop off her rear. The vet does a 'sanitary clip' occasionally so there isn't any hair to capture the urine. I would be happy to do it myself and save the $$ if she would let me! I keep a blanket on the couch for the rare times she wants to sit there.

Maybe she'd enjoy drinking from a pet fountain? A lot of cats do.

DIET.

No free feed; get a measuring cup, read the amounts on the bag, and follow them to the letter.

Putting a round cat toy in the dry food can slow down how fast she eats. Also - watch the wet food, if you use it. Very high in calories.

Grain-free food might be an idea, as there is less "filler" and kitty will feel full on less.

Best of luck and I hope your girl feels better soon!
