Hat tip to MonsierBon, I think this might be the most disgusting Ask.Mefi ever. Is it?
Though, to be fair, what drew me in was the "double penis" descriptor as I initially thought he had a cat with two penises. Sadly, no.
And, really: hat tip. That cat has a most caring owner.

hmm, thanks for linking this. My cat is crazy before and after using the litter box. I wonder if it's related?

Dude. I though it was going to be much weirder when I thought it was a question about double cat penises. Turned out to be just a double question about single cat penises.

In the second cat-pic, the cat in question has serious crazy-eyes going on.
Anal gland issues can definitely make cats act weird. (Heck, I act kind of weird when my butt is unhappy, so, yeah, I can sympathize, there.) One of my female kitties just had a big anal-gland-cyst thing going on. The cat was so unhappy I honestly thought I was about to take her to be put down because of some total metabolic collapse. The vet found the (allegedly golf-ball-sized) cyst and took the cat back to the procedure area to lance it. She came back into the exam room looking like she needed a cigarette and said "THAT WAS AWESOME." Apparently, impressively messy but as soon as they did that the cat was all "OH THANK GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH." I just took her out of the CONE OF SHAME last night, and she is happily not actually worrying at what is still an open wound on her butt and just hanging out grooming her face over and over and over because she can.

That question made me chuckle and recall taking our cat Sid to the vet for similarly crazy behavior. The vet immediately expressed Sid's anal glands and I swear that cat made a sound I've never heard a cat make before. It started as a yowl of surprise and wounded dignity, modulated to what I can only describe as a thoughtful hiss, and ended with the content and happy gurgling of infinite relief.
Cats arent big on gratitude. But Sid was one grateful cat that day.

I read that this morning and had about an hour-long facebook conversation with a friend where we both tried convincing the other to attempt to "express" our cats and I argued it would make for great performance art (she's an artist), doubling as a poignant commentary on cats and Internet culture (i.e. it leaks and it's smelly). She was saying how many ladies I would impress if I told them I personally express my cat's anal glands and I was almost sold but then she sent me this video [WARNING IT IS NOT PRETTY].

So I'm just old enough to have a driver's license. Which means I'm now old enough to do chores that involve driving. This leads to my younger sister and I taking the dog to the vet's, where said "professional" spends far too much time and delivers way too much detail explaining why he needs to express poor Mindy's anal glands. The lecture ends with him telling two pubescent children the brown stain on the paper towel indicates the dog needed her anal glands expressed. I waited until we were outside to suggest an alternate explanation would be the dog doesn't wipe like she should.
And I could have skipped the visual aid entirely.

Welcome to the Lulzy AskMeCats Club, MonsieurBon. I am pleased that you will have no similar memento, especially a memory of cat ass juice going where it should never go.
And, really, cheers on attempting the glands yourself. I've done that to a dog, after being given detailed advice by a vet. It was frightening for both of us. I never did it again.

The vet "expressed" my dog during our last visit. It's kind of funny, because his English is bad, and my Greek is terrible, so we don't attempt a lot of complicated communication... so when it got to the part where he would have ordinarily said something like, "now I am just going to express your dog's anal glands -- let me explain about that," he just sort of threw me a worried look and gave up, probably tensing for a reaction of shock and/or disgust.
But I was just smiling and smiling and nodding and waving my hand, like go ahead, go right ahead. Because I already knew about anal glands and how they sometimes need to be expressed, and all that involves (because, hey, who doesn't look up "dog/cat floor scooting" on the internet in this day and age), and had long ago decided that this is abso-damn-lutely a job for the Vet, and not me.
He must think I'm such an agreeable lady.

GregNog, we sent our three cats to the veterinary neurologist's for a week once (not voluntarily, as you can imagine - all three of them decided to start having seizures at the same time*). When we got them back, having entirely depleted our wedding fund, I took to telling people that it was okay, because we were surely going to get the value of the improvements we'd put in back when we sold them.
*No, despite the $$$$, we never did find out why...best guess was something wrong with the (very expensive!) food (from Whole Foods even!) I was buying for them.

Little Kitty is still at status "penis-having", though, so there is an option going forward, right? (My in-laws had a cat who had to be penectomized for a blocked urethra. He felt much better afterwards but I think just the idea of it bothered everyone else.)

Snakes have two penises. penisi. penus.
Well, I guess I don't know the plural for penis, but the dual-wielding that a snake does is called a hemipenes. The limp equivalent of a snakes penis is actually inside-out. So a male snake normally has negative 2 penises, but when in use has positive 2 penises.
