Why is my female cat not grooming and has a yellow, smelly discharge?

Question

My cat has stopped cleaning her vagina since I've gotten a male cat but he likes to pounce on her when she's peeing in the litter box sometimes and she stinks and I am not sure if there is secretion or not but I did just give her a bath and tried to clean it but it's still yellow eating nasty. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 3 months old | 15 lbs

Poor girl. It looks like Memow has an infection going on there possibly. I would get this checked by your vet. The hair needs to be shaved away and the skin looked at closely. If there is an infection, as suspected, then Me-mow will need a short course of antibiotics to hopefully clear this up. The vet will also likely want to check her for a UTI, since this is a common cause for infections near the genital area. If she is not grooming well, then this could also indicate an internal organ issue, so bloodwork may be recommended to check her full health status and make sure we don't miss anything underlying. I hope that your furry friend Me-mow gets this resolved soon! Best wishes and take care. : )
