Regardless of how much my boys try to stay clean, they always end up with poop on the undersides of their tails (Im assuming from dragging their hind ends in it to clean off.
Falkor, however, is very particular about how he poops now. Since our run in with an infection a few months ago, and the loss of his bone mass (he has no bone left in his left foot, so walks with a little limp) he has to get into a "position" to poop. He very carefully props himself up on one of his tank furnishings so his front legs hold his weight up... he spreads his back legs out and then just poops. Hell usually drag himself onto the skull and slide down the other end... Im assuming to avoid getting covered in his own feces duenti his lack of mobility. Its actually quite funny to watch, and very clever of him, if you ask me. ?
