Has anyone expereniced a problem with their cats anal glands? Rosco is going in next month to get fixed and the check-in sheet mentioned that sometimes anal glands need to be stimulated to drain. After reading this, I became more aware that sometimes when I pick Rosco up (he's a boy), that my hand smells like urine. When I lift him, one hand goes behind each set of legs; one front and one rear by his bottom. Even one time I think he let out some pee or something. Ever since, I've made it a point to smell around his hind legs. Sometimes he has a strong odor and most times he smells like a cat. When its strong, I try to place him by his litter box hoping that he would do some business but he usually walks off. From what I've read, they are used for marking territory and should drain when he poops. I've never noticed this before on any of my other cats over the years. What's your experience?
