Are Cats F@rters???

Hi LadyM, once my cat fa@ted and je jumped turned around to look at his behind and hen run off, I couldn't stop laughing, the sill cat, lol!! Tamara

I don't have a cat but I have a dog who stinking farts a lot every night before going to sleep. She even sneezes in her own fart and look at you as if your the that made that foul smell

I never knew cats farted. Far as I know, mine never do or ever did. There are times they will come lay on our chest at night and stink to high heaven but it's only because they had just come out of the litter box being they are all covered boxes. One of them is right here in Tigger's room/computer room/storage room that he prefers to use because of his bum leg. He'll leave a huge dump and not cover it. I swear he is laughing at my wrinkled nose at the offending smell till Simba comes in and finally covers it properly.

Roxie had green fogs for a while, finally had to take her to the vet to get them stopped - they were GHASTLY!

OMG! Khuay, the cat in my avatar must be part skunk! You pick him up and you get assaulted by one of his dark farty clouds! The first thing you do is put him back down in a hurry. He also has the habit of farting when he jumps up in your lap. We've gotten to the point that we have air freshener by every seat and bed in the house! He also will stretch and really fart, because he usually is either in my lap or on the back of the couch. Cats aren't the only farters, My dogs also do a good job of it too. Abby, the pit/lab mix manages to let rip beside my bed just before I am falling asleep. Thank goodness for air fresheners!!! I grab the can and spray like crazy. I think the one to top them all is my little girl cat Murphy. She is 16 and a half years old and sooo sweet and innocent looking. One night my BF and I were on the couch with Murphy sleeping behind his head. It was so quiet and peaceful, it was in the spring as the windows were closed and I had a fire in the fireplace. Then suddenly we were assaulted by the most horrible odor that you can imagine! We were gagging and gasping for fresh air! We had to race for the outside because the smell was so horrible. Murphy had farted!!! It took almost an hour to get the odor out of the house! Yet Murphy kept sleeping on the back of the couch, oblivious to the fact that she darn near killed us. As I am writing this, one of the dogs just farted! Don't light a match, we'll be in orbit!

Ha... I know it stinks, but that's just so cute, too cute! Your phrase, stinks to high heaven.. ... classic beauty! LOL.. Actually, I think all fart, but I don't know about birds and fishes? Oh yea, do whales fart too? And the list goes on..

YES! If my four let out gas at the same time, it nearly makes everyone in my house pass out. My cats can let out some really nasty ones.

Lol yes they do LadyM I used to have 5 Cats and believe me they where all pretty good at this Game When Gissi does it, he gets a Fright and runs of lol

To the best of my knowledge my cat has never farted but I cant be sure. I jus think ther are some things that cats do not do. I like all the little cats but farting would be a little hard to swallow in my opiion.

[b]Oh, my yes--are they ever! It's easy to blame the cat, too, because the little furballs are pooters! I think it's at least as bad as it is because they have milk & dairy in their diets, you know? Some people don't know this, but if a human baby is still on mother's milk, the waste doesn't have that powerful stink it does when they're switched to cow's milk. I figure that's at least part of what makes kitty fog sooo rank. Wups...yet another emoticon they should add--a pooticon! "P.U." they could call it. Maybe a frowny-face with a clothes pin on its nose? Wait...they don't have noses...well, I'm sure they could come up with something. Maybe just a bilious green frowny-face!

ROTFL!! Hi LadyM; Yeah baby boy does my cat ever fart...her favorite place to let one go is right up beside my head at night just as I am near to falling asleep she'll let one go as she is laying there beside my head and boy -howdy that "stink" usually winds up in my mouth somehow and I swear I can taste it for a long long time, Yep! My Screamer is a "fartin kitty" for sure; I feed her mostly Fancy Feast can food ( chicken is her favorite) and turkey too!! Her dry food is now Purina one I think is the name of it, kinda high dollar dry food but it has helped her to NOT have so many vomit hair balls of late, thank Goodness! My Dog farts too and those will make your eyes run!!! LOL!! I guess we all are just a bunch of old farts here (G)!! don't have any candles burning near where your cat lets one of those mighty farts go...LOL!! take care and beware of "farting cats"...ya gotta love'em right???

Do I ever! I have two cats a male and a female and the boy is the one with the stinky butt. The poor thing is 13 years old and has inflammatory bowel disease which does not help him but it is not the primary reason for his smelly f@rts. He’s always done it since he was a kitten when we first got him. He used to eat Whiskas cat food and the f@rts would smell exactly the same as the food! It’s quite gross and now that he is sick he poops outside the litter tray and he generally has a touch of diarrhoea which along with daily vomits makes my life really fun! Lucky I love the little stinker so much!

LOL,I cant help but laugh when reading this one .I cant say that I have ever heard of such a thing but I figure that since we can they must be able to do too since they basically eat the same food and it goes through the same basic metabolic processes where it relaese the same gases as bi products.

this is actually true because its happens to my brother. when he lifted my cats suddenly he smells some wave of stinks..hahaha...thats really funny and i believe yes it does farting..

Yep, cats do fart. We had a cat for about 11 years and she was guilty of farting and I would do the hunt just as you did and find nothing. We always fed our cat dry cat food and think this is why she didn't have this problem very often. I do really think dogs do this more often than cats. Keep a clothespin close by or a fart mask..lol

i never had a farting or belching cat. only my late dogs belched and farted.

[b]I've just gotta say, Lady M., I've laughed more & harder in this one thread than I have all month with scores of others combined! THANKS! I needed it! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

Ha. Yes, my cat farts. I first noticed it when my sister was over and she started complaining about the stink in the room. I smelled it too. It smelled like cat poo, and it smelled like it was coming from the living room (where the cat was) We searched high and low for poo, as we both thought as you did, that kitty had had an accident- but no poo, and the smell dispersed. My sister (she is braver than I) sniffed the cat's but (no kidding!) and said it smelled. Now every now and then I get a whiff of odor from my cat and I just laugh at her. I read once that animals that eat only or mostly meat (like lions, cats etc) have smellier farts than animals or people who eat just vegetables or a varied diet. I can believe it!

yep, mine do it too! we've smelled them across the room and it never fails to stink it up for the next 2 hours or more.

Yes Mika is definately a f@rter! She will lay in your lap stretching and looking cute as she sleeps and then all of a sudden a fog descends. I look at the little cute bundle in my lap and can not believe such a foul stench can come from something sooo pretty! I have even tried switching brands of food to see if she smells any better -but no when she lets one rip you know it!
