brown spray coming out of cat butt

Indigo Butting our 4 year old neutered male cat was sleeping and my husband tapped his backside with his foot to get him to move, when my husband did this a foul smelling liquid came out of his hindend. Is something wrong or do cats have a gland there like dogs do? I've had several male and female cats over the years and I've never seen such a thing. Indigo also backs up to things thinking that he is scenting them although we had him fixed early. He is an indoor/outdoor cat who enjoys hunting and eating parts of his catches.

yes cats do have a anal gland. Whether or not this is what caused the discharge i could not say. in any case i feel that it would be wise to have the area looked at in case there has been some complication with his recent operation.

best wishes Kate

Our 9yr old KittyGirl does not like to be picked up or attended to. When we clip her toenails or pick her up she dispenses this brownish liquid from her tail. It doesn't smell like poop and doesn't look like blood, just thin brownish liquid. Have we ever figured out what this is? Is it caused by stress?
