The best thing to do is have the area around the anus and down the back legs shaved every 6-8 weeks. A groomer should be able to do it for you or if your cat is good, you can try to do it yourself. It's called a sanitary clip. If you put a cream/ointment on it she will likely just lick it off and all kinds of dirt and hair will stick to it.
