How to clean the cat’s anal glands:

1. Gently lift the cat’s tail and find the location of the cat’s anal glands.

2. Hold a folded tissue in your right hand, place it against the anal opening, press the four o'clock and eight o'clock anal glands with your thumb and index finger, squeeze inward and then lift up.

3. Be gentle and avoid hurting the cat. After successfully squeezing it out, wash the cat clean with warm water.

The functions of cat anal glands:

1. The secretion of anal glands is a chemical message sent by cats, which can play the role of identity recognition.

2. When a cat is frightened, stressed or emotionally stressed, it will involuntarily release anal gland fluid to relieve it.

3. When a cat defecates, the anal glands also secrete liquid to help moisturize the intestines and defecate.
