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.
