    He might have worms.

    He may be getting clumping litter stuck to his butt. Have you been able to see if he has litter cling-ons before he starts scooting? It may be worth it to switch to a different type of litter for a few days and see if this takes care of it.

    That is usually a sign of having either worms or impacted/infected anal glands. According to our new vet, it can also be a sign of inflammation of the skin and anal glands due to fleas. Whichever cause it proves to be, its time for a trip to the vet.

    It may be worms or impacted anal glands. This is a vet visit for sure!

    We have a cat that does that because she is too fat to clean herself.

    Other reasons: itchy, or just find it less icky than the traditional cleaning method.

    he has an itchy butt, possibly from worms, take his stools to a vet and have it checked for worms.
