**raises hand **
I have a butt-scooter.
Speckles is 17 and yes, she scoots. I've also started a thread on it and got some responses suggesting a problem with the anal glands so I took her in. Turns out the same as you, nothing wrong with her. Speckles has a bit of a *ahem* girth so I think she has a hard time cleaning herself so she scoots to clean herself off. She does not do it all time; mainly after she's had a rather soft BM. It's most annoying and yes, I can identify with the "cling-ons".
I have found no solution except to stock up on Prosolve. It cleans the carpet like nobody's business.
Good luck.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
