Thank you for that, cat...

So, I notice that little Smokey has 'something' on her bum. I worry about this for a while (as I do) and then decide to investigate.

I pick up the cat slightly awkwardly in order to have a look at her bum (have you ever tried that with a cat? It does require a second person, really.) Almost totally fail, but decide that it looks like a bit of poo, and not, as I had worried, piles.

Cat escapes, looking a bit ruffled.

Immediately, cat cleans her bum and proves that it was a bit of poo, and I can stop worrying.

Cats.

I mean, really. I didn't want to get that close to your bum anyway.

Smokey is normally a very clean cat, and I couldn't understand why she hadn't cleaned her bum of the bit of poo straight away, but she hadn't. Only when I drew her attention to it did she clean it off. But it was quite small - about the size of a few grains of sand.
