It's probably got worms. I would take it to the vet and have it treated right away. Your kitty will love you even more for curing the itch it's trying to scratch.

Sounds like worms. Get a good round/tape wormer from your vet. The vet can give prescription wormers which are stronger than those bought at the pet shop.
If it continues after worming, see the vet. Also if there is a red raw area or discharge around her bum, see the vet.

My cat is a year previous and that i'm nevertheless having to scrub her bum. She has very lengthy fur and it gets extremely raveled around that area making her confusing for her to scrub. So i'm often wiping her bum and grooming the fur to help her out. i exploit a cotton wool pad and a few luke heat water to wipe her with. i'm specific you heavily isn't having the comparable difficulty in years time. merely sounds as though she is youthful and hasn't extremely learnt the skill suitable. i could be shocked if the kitten became merely 3 weeks previous. If that became the case her jogging could be very wobbly and he or she could in all hazard ought to be bottle fed. even nonetheless 7 weeks remains somewhat youthful. incredibly a kitten ought to be over 8 weeks previous formerly being seperated. merely keep doing what your doing and that i'm specific she'll %. up the skill quickly. in case you want peace of ideas nonetheless your ultimate guess is to flow to the vets. they are going to be waiting to estimate her age then additionally.

She may have worms, or she may just simply be wiping her bum. My jack russell dog comes in after releasing his poo, and wipes his butt on the carpet. My sister calls it "butt surfing".
If you are worried though, you should call the vet to make sure.

My older cat does this sometimes too. He's been wormed so I know that's not the problem for mine. But he does get hard stools sometimes and in order to get them unstuck from his butt, he drags it across the floor, leaving the occasional stray turd on the floor for me. I would take your kitty to the vet to see if it has worms, and maybe they can give you something to help soften his stools too.
It could also be he has something stuck to his butt, like a string he swallowed, and he's trying to unstick it.
good luck!!
