Health & WellbeingMy cat scoots after litter box. Is it urgent? What should I do?
Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. I do not think you have too much to be concerned about. Sometimes a piece of litter will stick to the hair around the rectum or penis, & rather than groom it off, a cat will scoot. However, with the report that Pumpkin has had a loose stool in the past month, I would not be surprised if he had some intestinal parasites, possibly roundworms, or tapeworms. No emergency to have him seen by your veterinarian, just take him in at your convenience. Take care.
