Holes near the rectum can indicate a perianal fistula, an anal gland abscess or perhaps parasites. I recommend to have Kitta examined by the veterinarian. Here is some additional information: https://www.petcoach.co/article/perianal-fistulas-in-dogs/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/anal-glands-sacs-impactions-infections-abscesses-in-dogs/ I hope this helps.
