I was listening to my friend's gf talk about cats. She doesn't let her two cats lick their butts.

But her friend said that wasn't right because they HAVE to clean themselves.....

what do you say?

Your friend is causing harm to those cats by doing this. Report her to animal services.

Your friend's GF is a complete fucking idiot.

That's pretty stupid, and does she think they don't do it when she isn't home or not looking?

But her friend said that wasn't right because they have to clean themselves, and unless she is washing the cats butts they just get really bad and nasty, so she lets her cats completely clean themselves.

what do you say?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the animal's health. The cat will clean itself whenever the owner isn't around. Pets will do what they feel is necessary whenever the owners aren't around, even if they get scolded when the owners are there for doing the same thing.
That's something one will never stop a cat or dog from doing. They'll find a way.

Unless she wants her cats to get infections in their anal sacs....which are way more gross to manually clean, smell and can leave messy surprises when they get up from sitting, she's best advised to leave the cats to their business.

But yeah, they'll certainly take care of it when she's not around.

If they can't use their tongues, there's always a good carpet somewhere, across which a butt may be vigorously dragged.
