Cat doesn't groom itself?
Hello to all cat experts, I have an important question. I've had a British Shorthair cat for about three months. He's a 6-month-old male and very sweet. The problem is that he doesn't groom himself after going to the bathroom. In his free time, he likes to groom his arms, stomach, etc., but never his lower body after going to the bathroom. Because of this, I'm getting more and more annoyed with my mom. I tried spraying a little water with a water spray bottle, but unfortunately it didn't help much. What should I do?

Good morning Zenia736,
If cats don’t clean properly, that’s always a sign of behavioral disorder. Because cats are very, very pure animals and do not like it when it is unclean. In the outside and also on them themselves.
So your concern is entitled that something may not be right.
I’ve seen your cute picture of your BKH kit in your timeline three months ago. Really delightful! 🙂
I’m sorry you write that you’re greeding with a water spray bottle. Please don’t do this anymore. That scares your young cat and she doesn’t know what you want from her.
Your BKH kit is still very young and I couldn’t find anywhere in your profile whether the cat is in individual posture or has a cat buddy to play.
If she/he is a single cat, then the lack of old care may also be attributable to it, and the kitten may have been separated too early from the mother cat and has not learned to clean herself properly.
In addition, there are cats that always have a bit of feces in the afterfolds. I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong. You may feel it stronger than it is in reality, and it may also be a normal, small impurity with your cat who have some “back there”. 😉
You should clean your cat with a damp, warm cloth. Not anymore.
Perhaps it is also the feed that gets the young animal and the consistency of the cote is not as it should be.
I’d like 4 things to do.

A supplement:Cats don’t like to clean up the after, because they don’t get there anymore, because too thick! If your cat should be quite stubborn (more than 2 kilos), then it takes a diet to remove the animal and get to its after.
Until then, since cats always have to taste everything, you could take odorless coconut oil (healthy) and taste very little of it on the after. The cat won’t be able to do anything other than rub it off. In addition, the coconut oil softens the dried cot slightly and maintains the sensitive after skin.
Thank you for your answer! I’m glad you took the time for it. The cat didn’t get separated early from the mom and from weight also quite okay. It wouldn’t bother me if there was a bit of cot in the wrinkles. But if he pees and that doesn’t even pick it up, it’s sometimes very annoying. I’ll have to clean it up. If I’m with her I’ll do as you said with a cloth clean 🤷 ♀️. Greetings!
Ah “lower area” is his penis? That’s weird. Maybe he’s in pain?
What is important: Many cats do not clean after the cloak. This is a behavior in humans, but not in cats. Sometimes they do it hours later.
Cats are then sprinkled within an extensive plaster. That can be many, many hours after the cloister.
That’s normal behavior.
No, he didn’t. But even after that he does not brush himself, not only with the penis😅 Naja, he is probably castrated in a month, maybe then something changes…
Did he look at the penis? Because they don’t usually do that without asking. In addition, the cat is gender-ready and the spine ring develops.
I don’t think so. About 1-2 months ago we were with the veterinarian everything was fit
Cut the hair short and no ne cat licks not directly at her shit is no dog, take some warm SAUBEREN and rub it gently clean, yes he ned, no soap
