How to remove clumped litter in my cat's hair?

You can try brushing the area, but trimming is best. This is caused by
the splashing of urine when she goes. She may also be squatting fairly
low, so the hair gets dragged through the litter. Water will only make
it worse. Try baby powder or cornstarch body powder brushed through
the hair to see if this helps.

Not that I'm aware of. I have 3 cats, the youngest is especially furry. So,
I have to trim his butt. Yes, I take scissors and cut about an inch of hair
all around his but so he doesn't get litter in his hair. He's black so the
only thing that worked was cutting his hair. He finds it confusing, what I'm
doing to him back there, but he tolerates it pretty well. Using water
doesn't work, his black hair showed the litter never left it so I had to cut
off some of his hair. Now I just keep him trim. He's such a fuzzy creature
you can't even tell I trim him!
He's a domestic long hair, not a persian. He sure is furry, though. I don't
think there's anything wrong with trimming the hair around the groin area.
It keeps them cleaner and you don't have to worry about future problems.

I have longhairs, too. Birmans (the Sacred Cat of Burma). You might
try changing litters. I use Worlds Best Cat Litter and it is
flushable--the clumps fall apart when dumped in water. Therefore, it
should be easy to rinse out of your cat's fur....
