Arthur has had it up to HERE with me checking his butt!!!

6. I'll have to try that. I've got packs of baby wipes scattered around the house

I got into that habit when I was dealing with tiny kittens swimming in their food bowls.

Arthur never acted as if something was wrong. It was noticing how often he was licking that made me check him. After the vet examined him, he didn't seem overly concerned but let me know if I noticed any blood, progression, or change in his behavior, to bring him right back in. I was constantly feeling his sides to make sure I didn't detect any 'lumps' that might indicate retained feces. I didn't want to have to face, again, what I had to face with Morgan. She and Arthur have the same mother so I worried her irreparable colon issue might have had a genetic link.
