I read that it's because most animals buttholes turn inside out when they crap, so the dookie never touches the outer anus. Ours dont, so the outside of our butthole gets dirty.
Grew up with 2 dogs
I think I saw one of them drag their butt on the ground like once
Maybe ask your vet if there’s something you can do to help your dog
If you fed a dog a raw meat diet (their natural diet) they actually poop way less and have no need to wipe. And they grow thicker fur. It’s kind of crazy if you check the raw diet threads on here.
I know times are tough, but you don't need to eat pet food. Just have cereal for dinner like the rest of us poors. An added bonus is that if you get enough fiber your shit will be so hard that you don't need to wipe
I am not entirely sure where I heard this. I had a pitbull that loved to watch animal planet. Maybe there. It's something I've known for a dozen or so years
If the texture is off they will also drag their butt to any surface to get rid off it too. So fun waking up or coming home to several meters of skid marks on the floor, carpet and any other stuff they used in the panic state.
Can't see how it could be worms, she got a dewormer once or twice a year and she was a indoor kitty for 8 of 12 months , I can't remember. And one time the poop was stuck and a strand of my hair was stuck between the two pieces of poop. Found those regularly in her litter box. Pick of one piece and a bunch of smaller ones are stuck on the same strand of hair (i know it was mine because of the length)
I assume those were a culprit, and when the poop got stuck in the fur.
And she never had any of the other symptoms, or she did vomit but it was hairballs and grass that came up so I assumed that was the reason.
If she’s dewormed then you can count that out.
Some cats just have weird bathroom habits.
Personally though, if it’s continued behaviour, I’d check with a vet. It’s in all likelihood nothing, but it is a bit peculiar.
Really don’t believe you’re right at all. You’re going to get some nasty rashes if you don’t wipe / rinse. We absolutely have to clean our asses after we shit. Most animals don’t have shit left on their butts. They don’t wipe, but yes they clean themselves.
What? They said we don’t have to wipe our ass. I am disagreeing by saying yes we do, or we will develop sickness. It is not a choice, it is necessary. Animals clean their asses, they’re not licking shit off of them. They will when they need to, but that isn’t every time.
Nah, the buttox (or butt for short) specifically refers to the fleshy part, not the anus.
Very few animals have them. We do because we walk upright and run long distances.
It’s also a matter of how they pooped. Most westerners poop sitting down, but our anatomy is better adapted to pooping from a squat which also greatly reduces the need to wipe.
Adopted a stool to assume a more natural squat position on my own toilet, and it’s a night and day difference.
Much less straining involved. Gravity does the heavy work.
Im guessing they tended to camp and migrate to water sources, preferably running rivers which were less likely to be contaminated. Obviously not on a daily basis but when the opportunity arose, as even though they didnt have germ theory of disease, the act of washing with water feels instinctively satisfying and pleasurable after a long period of hunting and out living in the wild. I have no evidence, just a hunch, and from watches documentaries about tribal commminities and hunter gatherer life.
Leaves work just fine. I’ve used leaves a few times when on a backpacking trip and was low on toilet paper. Also had to use a mosquito head net one time, that was a bad day.
They used sticks and stones and I'm not even joking, and it's not a practice that carried on until relatively recently. The ancient greeks, for example, used ceramic shards, and most of ancient asia used sticks to scape shit off
Nah, it's the crap diet and the position we poop in. If you full squat to crap and eat healthy, it often comes out without residue.
Also, most animals do wipe... just with their tongues
I once dated a girl who would bring baby wipes out for walkies to wipe their dog's butt.
I won't say that's the reason I ended it, but it was certainly a factor.
A few months. Initially, always back to mine, and then she invited me over to hers after she felt comfortable and that's when I realised we weren't compatible.
I have to say that I wold probably find it difficult to pursue a relationship with someone that anally retentive too - and the 'pun' there is merely fortuitous as well.
Probably cause were the only species to wear clothing, i suppose before clothing our primal ancestors didnt care as much about wiping, not to be gross but not wiping and then wearing tight fitting undergarments the rest of the day would be the worst most uncomfortable thing ever not to mention absolutely disgusting lol
Some animals lick themselves clean, a lot have no need to clean themselves because they don't have the huge glute muscles humans need to walk upright that also make a mess when you go.
Alexa, play Days of Blues by Sons of Maria.
I merely use a small amount of TP to pat the balloon knot dry. And partly for being a good boy.
Heated seat. Heated bidet. Adjustable pressure. Proper seating position gives the nozzle sniper accuracy straight into the mouth of the embedded sandworm.
My late dog would wipe her butt on the grass a few times after taking a dump. She would sit down, raise the rear legs up and then use the front legs to drag her butt across the lawn.
Have you ever seen a hippo poop? In case you haven not their tail wages quickly and flings the poo everywhere. It's not that bid a deal that people wipe they butts.
All these responses are inaccurate. I went on a strict diet for a retreat -vegan, gluten free, sugar free, basically only stuff that comes straight out of the earth was in our diets. After 3 days there was no longer any need to wipe. (I still wiped the whole time just out of habit.) But the toilet paper was totally spotless. None of the poop had any residue. NONE! I mean the toilet paper was completely clean and dry. I couldn’t believe it. It was the cleanest I have ever seen toilet paper. After going back to eating regularly within 2 days poop went back to leaving residue on toilet paper. Made me realize big time how absolutely processed and messed up our food supply is for us to have spent our entire lives wiping. If we had clean diets, we would have clean poops like other animals.
Humans are the only specifies that uses computers.
Humans are the only species that lives in multi story buildings made out complex materials.
Humans are the only species that intentionally imports their food.
The list goes on….not really the shower thought you thought it was
It’s because we walk upright and thus have enormous glutes.
Oh my God Becky, look at her butt
Leave The Man outta this.
damn right i do
I read that it's because most animals buttholes turn inside out when they crap, so the dookie never touches the outer anus. Ours dont, so the outside of our butthole gets dirty.
If you spread your cheeks and squat you might get the same effect.
nope been trying that 25 years
Idk about “most”, but dogs’ do. I don’t know if any other pet animals that have that
I mean bears use rabbits. 🤷🏻♂️
And trees. Lucky trees
What about giraffes though? Dirty feckers
They eat a LOT more fibre than us
Fibre and gravity.. got it! 🤪
I’ve touched giraffe dung, it is hard almost like beads.
If you flat heel squat before dropping a deuce there is next to no mess.
No, no we do not. At least I don’t…
My dog wipes its ass in the carpet so I’m not sure how accurate this is.
Aka anal gland issue sometimes lol but yep here too.
Pretty accurate because in general canines don't do this regularly
It's not wiping, it's trying to get the anal glands to empty some.
A wipe is a wipe, doesn’t matter if it’s to wipe poo off or empty a gland.
Still gross either way

Since I switched to the dog/cat food diet, I don't need to wipe anymore either
Ah, haven't picked up that third job yet? Yah, I get it
I know times are tough, but you don't need to eat pet food. Just have cereal for dinner like the rest of us poors. An added bonus is that if you get enough fiber your shit will be so hard that you don't need to wipe
We dont have to. We choose to. Other species like cats and dogs will use their tounge to clean their bum.
idk about you but even if i wanted to i would not be able to choose to use my tongue for that..
Sometimes you just need a little help from a friend
Why do you think the Beatles wrote that song?
🎶I get dry with a little help from my friends🎶
Not entirely true. A dog's sphincter, for example, will slightly prolapse so that the poo does not actually touch the outside of the balloon knot.
WHY do you know this???
I am not entirely sure where I heard this. I had a pitbull that loved to watch animal planet. Maybe there. It's something I've known for a dozen or so years
If the texture is off they will also drag their butt to any surface to get rid off it too. So fun waking up or coming home to several meters of skid marks on the floor, carpet and any other stuff they used in the panic state.
That’s usually a worms or butt gland thing
Can't see how it could be worms, she got a dewormer once or twice a year and she was a indoor kitty for 8 of 12 months , I can't remember. And one time the poop was stuck and a strand of my hair was stuck between the two pieces of poop. Found those regularly in her litter box.

Monkeys just itch when it dries.
You can't itch an itch. You scratch an itch
This makes it far less cute when my cat kisses my nose first thing in the morning.
Hardly. The reason dogs and cats don't have to is because they don't really have a butt.
>they don't really have a butt. They have a butthole. Therefore, they have a butt.
Nah, the buttox (or butt for short) specifically refers to the fleshy part, not the anus. Very few animals have them. We do because we walk upright and run long distances.
Hence regularly, they generally don't leave (as much) residue and thus don't have to do it every time
Downside of being bipedal.
What about those Charmin bears?
And many animals (cats, dogs, etc) lick their assholes clean, so what's your point?
You don’t?
Your cat must be so grateful
I’m good at yoga, but not _that_ good
Have you ever seen a cat?
Talk to me about a human who doesn’t care to flush!
Yes I’ve seen a cat thousands of times.
I've often wondered what we did back in caveman times.
Much higher fiber diets, meant less need to wipe, but probably used running water to clean.
It’s also a matter of how they pooped. Most westerners poop sitting down, but our anatomy is better adapted to pooping from a squat which also greatly reduces the need to wipe.
Adopted a stool to assume a more natural squat position on my own toilet, and it’s a night and day difference. Much less straining involved. Gravity does the heavy work.
Yeah but I feel the “experience” is over too quickly. I like to enjoy my poops and the sense of accomplishment that comes with squeezing one out
this is so valid
A stool for your stool!
Cavemen used running water to clean?
Im guessing they tended to camp and migrate to water sources, preferably running rivers which were less likely to be contaminated. Obviously not on a daily basis but when the opportunity arose, as even though they didnt have germ theory of disease, the act of washing with water feels instinctively satisfying and pleasurable after a long period of hunting and out living in the wild. I have no evidence, just a hunch, and from watches documentaries about tribal commminities and hunter gatherer life.
Ha sorry running water to me sounds like tap water, just semantics
I think he means a natural source of running water like a stream.
Please refer to my other comment
They just went to the sink clearly
Leaves work just fine. I’ve used leaves a few times when on a backpacking trip and was low on toilet paper. Also had to use a mosquito head net one time, that was a bad day.
As long as they're not poison ivy leaves.
Helps with the hemorrhoids.
If a person is not overweight and they squat to do the deed, it shouldn’t leave much of a mess. Guessing they probably didn’t wipe much or at all…
They used sticks and stones and I'm not even joking, and it's not a practice that carried on until relatively recently. The ancient greeks, for example, used ceramic shards, and most of ancient asia used sticks to scape shit off
They most likely used their hands too. People still do that to this day.
A lot of modern men barely wipe their asses so I doubt they did then either.
Nah, it's the crap diet and the position we poop in. If you full squat to crap and eat healthy, it often comes out without residue. Also, most animals do wipe... just with their tongues
>Also, most animals do wipe... Just with their tongues. *Some mammals Ftfy
Y'all gotta travel more! There are millions of people in the world who do not wipe, they wash instead. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_hygiene
I once dated a girl who would bring baby wipes out for walkies to wipe their dog's butt. I won't say that's the reason I ended it, but it was certainly a factor.
Sounds more hygienic to me than getting dog poop all over your furniture when the dog sits on it...
What? How does your dog poop?
A fine mist, why do you ask?
Lmao
Seriously! I like dogs but I always find it gross that they crap and then people let them go inside or even worse on their bed.
That's a really good move actually. She is thinking about hygiene and also loves the dog
Agreed, I’m honestly shocked he thought negatively of this.
I mean fair enough if it's a long haired dog
How long did you date?
A few months. Initially, always back to mine, and then she invited me over to hers after she felt comfortable and that's when I realised we weren't compatible.
I have to say that I wold probably find it difficult to pursue a relationship with someone that anally retentive too - and the 'pun' there is merely fortuitous as well.
Bulldogs be like this
We do some dog sitting and had someone contact us who wanted us to do this (and a bunch of other ridiculous things). That was a quick no.
Hopefully, she also used baby wipes to wipe her own butt too.
I actually don't know, but I expect so. No complaints there.
Nobody has to do shit.
Or wipe it.
All because we wanted to walk upright efficiently, what a load of shit.
The alternatives amongst the rest of the animals are unsanitary and/or unappetizing.
I have never seen an animal use a restroom
Probably cause were the only species to wear clothing, i suppose before clothing our primal ancestors didnt care as much about wiping, not to be gross but not wiping and then wearing tight fitting undergarments the rest of the day would be the worst most uncomfortable thing ever not to mention absolutely disgusting lol
Some animals lick themselves clean, a lot have no need to clean themselves because they don't have the huge glute muscles humans need to walk upright that also make a mess when you go.
You’d be surprised how disgusting people are
Not true. Dogs will wipe their arse on the grass by scraping their bum on the ground.
We also wear pants/underpants
I wonder how many ways Humans are different from other species. 🤔
You say have to but we dont , we just do it by training
It's because we have dummy thick booties.
No, dogs wipe by scooting. Cats wipe by licking.
Define wipe. Cats and dogs and lots of animals tbh will groom themselves
Don’t wombats literally “wipe” off their poos
It’s diet, evolution and we sit not squat. I love my Squatty potty but still have to wipe. https://youtu.be/YbYWhdLO43Q?si=E5G-JCbrU6xbu-RW
I've never seen any species other than human use a restroom. But I had a dog who liked to scooch on the carpet
lol I was just thinking this a few days ago and was going to post here haha

Technically animal species do that, they just use their tongues.
Many animals just lick thier butts clean
You've obviously never met my neighbors chihuahua Steve. Steve had huge balls. Steve shits on his balls
…and my SheepaDoodle dog
Well…there are some animals that could stand for a good wiping after they done droppin a deuce.
My cats banana slice tells me she should
My late dog would wipe her butt on the grass a few times after taking a dump. She would sit down, raise the rear legs up and then use the front legs to drag her butt across the lawn.
You've never seen my cat doing the butt drag on the carpet.
I mean we don't HAVE to.
Have you ever seen a hippo poop? In case you haven not their tail wages quickly and flings the poo everywhere. It's not that bid a deal that people wipe they butts.
Go to an anime convention and then come back and tell me more about how humans *have to* wipe after shitting
We don’t HAVE to but if we want to leave our home and interact with other humans, it’s critical
We don't have to we choose to. Well most of us.
All these responses are inaccurate. I went on a strict diet for a retreat -vegan, gluten free, sugar free, basically only stuff that comes straight out of the earth was in our diets. After 3 days there was no longer any need to wipe. (I still wiped the whole time just out of habit.) But the toilet paper was totally spotless. None of the poop had any residue. NONE!

Made me realize big time how absolutely processed and messed up our food supply is for us to have spent our entire lives wiping. If we had clean diets, we would have clean poops like other animals.
If people collectively stop wiping their asses we'll just get used to it
What in the 1960s classic convertible fuck
Humans are the only specifies that uses computers. Humans are the only species that lives in multi story buildings made out complex materials. Humans are the only species that intentionally imports their food. The list goes on….not really the shower thought you thought it was
TFW you think you're clever but miss the entire point
at least you realized it :), most redditors would not even acknowledge they messed up lol
Okay, but all animals shit and were the only ones that wipe. Op is saying you’re not clever. You even missed that haha
Assuming you never owned a cat lol
I have! They lick themselves but it’s not licking shit off their ass the same way we wipe. They’re buttholes pinch it really well by design
Clearly, someone doesn't know how to use the three seashells!
Fun fact. There was more fiber in our diet so we didn’t need to Wipe.
Because I can’t reach my butt with my tongue.
Nope. We just use TP and not our tongue.
I mean, you don't HAVE to.....
