Your cat may have abcessed anal glands. This is a very simple infection that occurs in dogs and cats all the time and usually costs less than ten dollars to remedy. What's happened is (for whatever reason) something didn't come out right, or your cat sat on something and got a cut, this cut is called a fissure. The fissure closed but it obviously had bacteria in it, and this made the infection inside of the anus and the anal glands themselves. (It is this same type of infection that makes dogs do that ever so famous 'butt-scoot' across carpets, in hope that they can pop it so that it will not irritate anymore.) Don't worry or be afraid. All you need to do is take the cat down to either your local veterinarian or your groomer, and tell them that you would like them to express your cat's anal glands. Your vet/groomer will then bring the cat into the back room, put on a pair of gloves, and put two fingers into your cat's anus and squeeze the infected gland, bursting it, and squeezing out any remains of the infection or the germs/materials that caused it. Your cat's anus will then be rinsed gently, and the cat will be given back to you.
