How to stop poop from sticking to my long-haired Persian cat's fur?

Question

I have a 4 and a half month old Persian, and I have this issue sometimeswhere when she goes to poop, she doesn’t sit properly? She sits too low or sometimes she sits okay but after she’s done she like sits or falls back on it maybe by mistake? Maybe not?? which results in the poop clinging on her behind and her fur. Any ideas how to stop this? Cuz I have no clea and it’s becoming an issue :((. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed

This is common in Persians and other long haired cats. You will need to keep her in a sanitary clip to prevent the stool from sticking to her hair. A groomer or vet can do the clip for your or you can learn to do it yourself. A sanitary clip is where you shave the hair around the anus and down both the back legs. I don't think she has an underlying medical issue with her balance but if you are worried you should have your vet check her.
