This distasteful affliction, also known as a dingleberry, is an entanglement of cat turd in the
cat's fur, usually in the buttock area. Furds occur most frequently in
long-haired
cats which are not fastidious about personal hygiene.
Fluffy's
righteous furds required one
person to hold her down and another, armed with gloves and
scissors, to remove them from her tail and backside.
