the cat's anal gland is more-than-likely plugged up. so you probably WILL have to express whatever's in there at some point. most pet groomers will express the gland by squeezing it, which will send the goop flying (Mike Rowe demonstrated this quite proficiently on an episode of "Dirty Jobs"). it's either that or it's got a case of worms, which is not good.
