Why does my cat stink?

Thanks for the advice, it is much appreciated. I will definitely have him checked out.

usually when cats clean their selfs they also lick their butt maybe thats the smell my cats lick their butt but I dont know about poop smelling breath lol

Would build up of anal glands make his breath stink? Also, my friend recently had her dog’s anal glands cleaned, do all dogs and cats supposed to have this performed, and how often?

The bad breath can be caused by a few things - tooth decay, poor digestion, even eating the feces out of the litter box…it’s definitely something worth mentioning to the vet.

Cats don’t generally need to have their glands released, but you do get the occasional cat that does need a little help with that.

He may have a buildup of fluid in his anal glands, which, when released, can end up staying on his coat and causing him to smell bad.

Take him to the vet for an examination.

Well, that bad of breath COULD mean he has something systemic going on inside…take him to the Vet for a thorough check up…

If the smell is mostly from the mouth then dental disease is most likely,have him checked out
