Poor Ninja! I'm not sure what kind of cancer he has, but if it's intestinal, this anal leakage could be related to his cancer. It could also be due to injury to his tail or spine, or anal sac disease. I would have Ninja seen by a vet tomorrow for this so the vet can diagnose what is causing the anal leakage and what treatment options may be available for him.
