Hey /an/, I know this isn't WebMD for animals, but I can't

Try putting your dick in it.

Definite anal gland inflammation. Take him to the vet. Does he show a lot of pain when pooping? Kinda hangs out in the litter box and then paces a bit? Do you feed him dry food? They look like they may be impacted. You can empty them yourself at home, but I would definitely take him to a vet first because you don't want to hurt him if they're stopped up.
I'm addicted to these videos, by the way. They're better than zit popping videos.

Thank you for the quick reply!

She does eat dry food, yes. She doesn't seem to show any more discomfort while using the bathroom than normal (she's always been a bit of a weirdo around her litter box) and the area around them doesn't look inflamed. She's never seemed to show that it was bothering her. Admittedly, however, I'm not keen on the signs to be watching out for. She's actually the first cat I've had.

I'd rather get a vet to help her if at all possible. I'm not confident in my ability on something like this and I want to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Photo included of her that's much more flattering.

jumping in on this thread, my kitten is teary and occasionally sneezes. Just a cold (summer here) or should I take him to a vet?

To follow up; it was, in fact, impacted glands. Aside from an ingrown hair on her belly that I had been thinking was a weird nipple for a while, the doctor gave her a completely clean bill of health. A little chubby, but I'm working on that with a bit less food and more exercise.

I've read that unless there's a discharge when they sneeze that they likely just have a cold. But as I've already proven in this thread, I'm no vet.

hmm there definitely was mucus

I'd say it wouldn't hurt to take him to the vet just to be sure. It could be something like a sinus infection. If nothing else, just for peace of mind.
