Dogs are constantly passing gas. So why don’t cats seem to?
If you have to question whether cats fart, you don’t spend much time around your cat. It might not be very often, but you’ll know when it happens.
My black cat used to fart every time we picked him up. Did we stop picking him up? No. Did we vomit? Yes!
doesn’t have to be a cat to get the experience. set me on a protein diat, pick me up and then smell
I changed my boy Ralph’s diet and for a few weeks when he let one go you didn’t even have to be in the room to notice. A few times I went in search because I thought for sure he shit himself somewhere.
Lol that’s horrible. The author of this article says that dogs are prolific farters but I’ve had two dogs and neither farted super often. Definitely not denying it’s happened but it’s not something I’ve noticed that much and especially not to the degree you just described!
I mean, it is my first cat and we have him now for 4 years, but I cannot say I ever heard or noticed him farting.
That said I never had the thought he wouldn’t fart at all. If everybody poops then everbody farts as well.
Anyone who has adopted a kitten knows they fart. Those first couple days / weeks while their guts settle is awful
If you yoink them off the floor and cradle them in your arm, there’s a 10% chance you’ll smell a fart. Especially if it’s a kitten.
