  • I had no idea cats had anal glands until I was shaving my cat for the summer.....I started to use the clippers around his butthole and crap squirted in my face. It was the grossest thing ever! My cat seemed embarasased...

  • "cats do not typically likes this or enjoy this.."

  • 0:26 lol he said erection

  • My cat hates his hind end touched at all...... i would have to just take him to the vet again -.-

  • @arcunnin  LOL.. oh man, I just had this problem this past weekend ..luckily my cat expressed them herself.. but I hope I would never have to do it.. my god that smell was horrible..

  • you can do this at home but let a vet teach you first.

    I have a cat and a dog and do it every 3 month on both of them

  • You should not use baby wipes, because the cat/dog can get a tummy ache when they try to clean themselves down there. Just use a damp paper towel.

  • My cat's anal gland ruptured because I didn't know what was going on. The vet said to use hydrogen peroxide and antibiotics on the hole, and it worked and healed up, but it's returned now. Should I express it now or continue putting medicine on it? The vet we went to seems like he might not be the smartest so I don't know if I should take my cat back to him.

  • LMFAO!!!!!

  • @arcunnin omg i'm dying.

  • he said anal saaax HA!
