    No, she cannot reach her butt to wipe, so always smells like poop and it’s always itchy.

      Horses cant wipe either but they do fine in terms if the smell. The trick is that they have an anus designed to prolapse a few inches so that the feces only ever comes into contact with the rectum and never exterior tissues.

          If you haven’t bought a bidet (like $50-100 and a few minutes to install) or shower every time you poop, you are probably covered in feces right now. Toilet paper alone is kind of gross.

          … I did know before reading the post the reason we as humans are the only ones who wipe. Where did I learn this? From you (the internet) of course. Where else xD

            dogs and cats do that weird thing where they scoot and rub their butts on the carpet… plus licking.

              Actually, dogs also prolapse their anus. They scoot because their anal glands get backed up and that is the only way they can clear it out.

              Felines, meanwhile, are not capable of prolapsing their anus, and instead use their tongues to remove any fecal matter that accumulates.
