Why does my other cat Sydney on a more serious note scoot
her rear end across the carpet like a dog does? I have been smelling urine alot lately in the room, she is only two years old. Then she licks herself in that area after she quits scooting. Could she have an infection or a cyst or something?

2. Impacted anal glands? What do I do and could that be where
that smell is coming from? I'm getting ready to get new carpet in that room anyway it's old. But I'm going to hold off until I can solve this dilemma. :dilemma:

3. Go to your vet
I had a cat who had that problem. The anal glands had to be "expressed" (that's the term of art) by the vet. I really can't explain the problem or the solution. I suggest you google and see if you can find more information.
Good luck to you and your furred companion.

4. worms?
If a cat has fleas, they have worms -- according to my vet.
