Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your kitty's uncomfortable habit. It's not uncommon for cats to lick their genital area after kneading (or "making biscuits"), but there are a few things we should consider.
Cats might lick excessively due to irritation or discomfort, possibly from a urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine, or even a blockage. Another possibility is that his grooming behaviors might be linked to anxiety or a change in environment.
At home, ensure he's drinking plenty of water, as hydration helps maintain urinary tract health. You might try adding wet food to his diet if he primarily eats dry food. Keep an eye on his litter box habits; signs like straining, frequent trips with little output, or blood in the urine mean it's time to see a vet immediately.
Observe for other symptoms like lethargy, changes in appetite, or vocalizing discomfort. These could indicate a more serious health issue requiring prompt veterinary attention.
If his licking persists or you notice any concerning symptoms, I recommend scheduling a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet. They can help assess the situation and determine if an in-person visit is necessary. Your kitty's comfort and health are our priority!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
