Answers:

Intestinal parasites is the first thing that comes to mind. They tend to irritate the anus.

Then there are intestinal problems (problems digesting, allergies to food, etc.) that can cause this because the feces irritates the anus.

Then there's also the possibility of a fungal infection.

In any case, get your cat to the vet to be looked over and treated. If it LOOKS bad, odds are she's pretty uncomfortable.

If she hasn't been spayed I would say she could be in heat

How long has your butt been red and swollen? And what are you doing with that cat?

---

fleas? ticks? sometimes cats can be allergic to something like grass. could be ringworm too. ASK YOUR VET FOR THE BEST ANSWER! : )

What kind of stool is the cat passing? If the cat has a chronic case of diareah this can be the cause.

Other problems can be intestinal paracites, irritable bowel syndrome.

You should take your kitty to the vets for a proper diagnosis, all we Can do for you is give might be suggestions, only your vet can diagnose what the actual problem is.

there is no "disease" it could be constipated, have impacted anal glands or hemorroids. I would contact your vet before it becomes serious
