An unneutered GORGEOUS white male cat showed up at my house a few days ago, and by the fact that he's so friendly I assume he has (or had) an owner, but by the fact he's kinda skinny and is unneutered makes me think maybe he wasn't taken care of. Either way, I'm caring for him while trying to find his owner...and if he were mine, he'd be neutered, so don't tell me to just get him fixed. If no one resonds to an ad within 2 weeks he shall be chopped.
But my question is...and sorry if this is gross...is it normal for a male cat to get feces on his balls? Like I know it's all in the general vicinity, and maybe it's just more noticable because he's pure white, but it really seems like he frequently has poo on his balls (till he bathes again) and it's grossing me out. I'm pregnant so I can't touch cat feces in any way so I can't wipe him. I just want to know is this normal?

yes, this is normal. have sombody else use kitty cat wipes for his bum... and love him! also, have you put up fliers in your neighborhood describing the cat? Someone may be missing the little guy, poopy balls and all. I suggest that you ask around the neighborhood also.

It is normal. Cats generally clean themselves but sometimes they don't really know how or they miss a spot or can't reach a spot. Could be that the cat was taken from him mom a little too soon and never really learned how to clean himself. I know its gross but there really is not alot you can do other than get someone to clean him for you. Maybe you could try make sure the hair around there is kept short then perhaps it won't stick to there quite as much.

with some male cats yes if you plan on keeping him, you need to get him fixed before he starts spraying inside your house. that is really gross. and once he starts he wont quit even after he is fixed.

It is possible that he has diarrhea, that is why he gets dirty. I suggest you take the cat to the vet for tests, deworming, etc. and look at his feces when he poops, to see how they are.

LOL If you get to keep him you should name him poopy balls, I think it fits, until he gets chopped. Then he will be poopy balls no more!
