My Pussy Stinks!
I have a problem with my cat, in that it won't groom itself and becomes very dirty and smelly. We have resorted to washing her ourselves in the bath using baby shampoo, much to her disgust!
She is approx 4 yrs old, good appetite, active (good mouse catcher), a friendly and content rescue cat. One other thing we have noticed is that for a small cat, she drinks quite a lot, and subsequently, pees a lot. Can anyone suggest anything I can do to get my cat to keet itself clean and fresh??

Lack of hygiene along with drinking a lot and passing a lot of fluids could be a sign that she's under the weather.

Re: My Pussy Stinks!
This has been going on for about a year. She had a check-up last week at the vets - jabs, etc. Bloods were done - all Ok. The vet suggested she is just lazy!

its unusual for a cat to be like that, all my cats have been very very vain.

Re: My Pussy Stinks!
Ok then - that's good.
I hope someone else has better advice as I'm not to sure.  I would probably brush her often instead of washing her - I would only wash very occasionally as it will remove natural oils from her coat. Plus there is a chance she doesn't like the baby stuff and it could be adding to the problem of why she won't lick her coat.

Re: My Pussy Stinks!
Thanks Emily, good common sence advice - will try that.
I wonder if there's a spray that I could use to encourage my cat to lick itself? I must say I haven't seen one. Anyone else.......?

Re: My Pussy Stinks!
I've never heard of one...
Maybe you should copyright that idea and get working on it

Re: My Pussy Stinks!
Unusual for a cat not to groom, unless poorly. But as you say, you've got all the checks done
Not sure what to suggest really. Baby powder rubbed into the fur left in for a bit, then brushed out is very good for getting rid of oils & smells. You may just have to resign yourself to brushing daily. But then thats not a bad thing, lol.

Re: My Pussy Stinks!
Bit left field but maybe try putting some of his/her fav wet food along her sides and paws and see if this helps
I would imagine it's not too nice havin' a smelly pussy
