Symptoms of anal sac disease are:
Scooting or dragging the anal area.
Excessive licking under the tail.
Pain, sometimes severe, near the tail or anus.
A swollen area on either side of the anus.
Bloody or sticky drainage on either side of the anus.
How are these diseases treated?
The treatment for impaction is to express the sacs and clean out the solidified material. For infection, the sacs must be expressed and antibiotics administered to kill the bacteria. If the sacs abscess, the abscess must be surgically drained and antibiotics administered.

I also noticed this with my cats and usually when I looked I saw some poop stuck there and it irritates them and they were trying to get it off. Once they even left a brown line indicating what they were attempting to do. It stops once I help them get it off. I suppose if they do it all the time, it might be something else.

They usually do it if their bottom itches. It's a possible indication that they may have worms. Some of them do it for other reasons, though.

It's actually a marking behavior...no worries. A cat would do that if the scent of something there was too strong for them.

he might have worms, take it to the vet for some wormer and shots, if he still does it then it just might feel good to him. but if your cat has worms and your around it the worms can absorb into your skin , then you'll have worms

if cats r anything like pugs it could have worms. because when pugs get worms they can feel themm moving around in the pugs butt and it itches.

They probably have parasites (worms). Bring it to the vet.
