Why do cats stick their butt in the air?

Answer 1

It means that your cat is showing you a sign of friendship, When it does this with other cats, they sniff each others anal glands, learning more about each other. When a cat does this with you, it means the same thing.

Answer 2

AnswerProbably has worms.

Actually, it isn't that he "probably has worms"..he COULD have worms, but more likely his/her scooting is caused by anal-gland impaction or infection. If your cat is scooting, then you need to go to the Vet stat. It happens more in dogs, but it happens in cats too. You do NOT want this to go unchecked..please look up "anal gland impaction" online and make an appointment with your Veterinarian.

I am only guessing about why cats stick their butts in the air, but I think it is for mating purposes. It makes it easier to mate. I also have dogs that do that too. Maybe it is just a stretching of their backs that cause them all to do that, huh, what do you think?

Answer 4

Cats raise the base of their tail while being petted to increase the scratching pressure of this hard to reach area. This area also contains scent glands that transfer their scents to their owners.

Answer 5

Well sometimes cause there is like a fly eyratating them or there just itchy!

Answer 6

Cat's slide their butts across the floor because it feels good. Often it is done when they have a itch they can't scratch any other way.

Answer 7

The most likely answer is that he has intestinal worms; he should be examined by a veterinarian to determine this.
