He’s letting his dander pile up

Cats are top notch groomers so if you find dander piling up on his belly or bottom; something’s up. ‘One of the hardest things for aging cats that have developed arthritis may be losing the ability to groom themselves properly,’ says Dr. Cooley. ‘Although we don’t know for sure, we think it causes stress for them, and these cats appear uncomfortable or even in pain when their bottom or lower belly is scratched.’
