poop and pee on my cats butt

everytime my kitten goes to the litterbox to poop or pee she gets some of it stuck on her butt fur. We dont want this to happen anymore and we dont want to give her a shower everyday. How can this be solved?

It could just be that she hasn't learned to keep herself clean properly yet. But she will do as she gets older, she may have been taken away from her mother before she was ready and so did not learn everything from her mother about this.

in the mean time all you need to do is to moisten a tissue and give her a quick wipe after she uses the litter tray. Sometimes this is just something that we cat owners have to do when we have a kitten. Don't worry i'm sure as she gets older instinct will kick in as cats are very clean animals naturally.

best wishes Kate
