I. Is it normal for cats to fart?
Farting is normal for cats, because after a cat eats, some of the food will be broken down and absorbed, and another part of the food will enter the intestines and be excreted in the form of feces. In addition to food, cats also inhale some gas, which builds up in the digestive system and is then released from the body. Farting is the process of expelling gas from the body, which is called “flatulence”.
Second, why do cats fart?
Although it is a normal physiological phenomenon for cats to fart, if cats often fart stinky, there may be other reasons, as follows:
1. Eating too much Fast: The cat is overeating or the pet owner feeds irregularly, so that the cat is hungry and full, which can easily cause the cat to eat too fast, resulting in stinky farts.
2. Diet problems: If the cat eats moldy food or inferior cat food, or eats food such as beans, potatoes, dairy products, vegetables and fruits, the cat cannot digest these foods for a while. This can lead to excessive gas production in the body, resulting in stinky farts.
3. Allergic reaction: If the cat inhales pollen, dust, etc. and has an allergic reaction, or is infected with internal parasites, these factors will stimulate the cat’s digestive tract, causing the cat to have gastrointestinal problems, resulting in odor. fart situation.
4. Causes of disease: If the cat has gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroenteritis, intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal cancer, etc., the cat is likely to fart frequently, and the owner should cure the cat’s gastrointestinal problems as soon as possible.
Third, what should I do if the cat farts?
1. If the cat often stinky farts, the owner should first check whether the cat is infected with intestinal parasites, and can take it to the hospital for a stool examination. Also check whether the cat suffers from gastrointestinal diseases. If the cat not only farts, but also has abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, drooling and other problems, it is likely to have gastrointestinal diseases and needs timely treatment.

The owner should also pay attention to let the cat develop good eating habits, adhere to the feeding principle of small meals and frequent meals, and avoid feeding the cat high-fiber food, lactose-containing food and spoiled food.
