Farting or what we commonly know as relieving the gas is a natural process in living things. In humans, the cause of farting is usually due to the natural process of getting rid of the remaining gas from the digestive process. Then what about animals like cats?
Can cats fart? Yes, cats also fart. Like humans, cats also need a way to get rid of the remaining gas from digestion. Therefore, he will fart.
Then have you ever heard a cat fart? Or have you ever smelled it? Does it smell good or not?
Cat Fart Sounds
Do you know how the fart sounds? Is it the same as humans? Then is the sound louder?
Well, apparently the cat when farting can make a sound.
But not always, even if the fart sounds then usually the sound is very small so it’s hard to hear. But sometimes you can also hear it.
Causes of Farting Cats
In humans, farting is caused by the natural process of getting rid of unwanted gas in the body.
What about cats? Is it the same as humans? Or does it have other purposes such as protecting themselves from predators?
Apparently, cats let out farts are also caused by the natural process of removing the remaining digestive gases.
Or sometimes also because the cat’s stomach is bloated. Not for fun, especially to protect themselves from predators.
There are indeed some animals that use farts to repel predators.
But for cats is not because of anything like that, but only a natural process.
Causes of cats farting frequently:
- Poor Food
- Eating Carelessly
- Change Food
- Cat Rarely Moves
- Does not match the food
- Sick Cat
Does food affect fart intensity?
The question that can arise next is whether when a cat farts it can give off an odor? Then the answer is yes.
Cats when farting emits an unpleasant odor. Especially because cats include meat-eating animals.
In the world of science, it is common knowledge, if living things eat meat, then the fart will be smelly.
Can Cats Smell Their Own Farts?
If a human farts, they will usually smell their own farts. Also, humans can also smell the farts of their friends. Then what about cats?
Can cats smell their own farts? So far, I haven’t found any data on whether cats can sense the smell of their own farts. But if his friend farted of course the cat can feel it. Moreover, the cat’s smell is quite sharp.
We can liken this to when a cat poops and the cat usually checks whether the dirty smell is still smelled. If it still smells then it will add more sand.
Well, if you look at it from this side then cats can certainly smell the smell. The proof is that they can feel the smell of their own poop. Well so the conclusion, cats can also smell bad smells.
The Danger of Farting Cats
If indeed the cat fart smells? Then is it dangerous? No, it’s not. Like human farts that do not cause any harm. The only danger that is usually caused is shortness of breath.
How come? Yes, this is usually caused because you hold your breath because of the smell and become short of breath. In other words, it would be dangerous if you were to collect it in a container to inhale for some time.
Is the cat often farting a sign of illness?
As long as the fart is still reasonable in intensity, then the cat is still healthy. Or if the smell is still normal and not too strong then it is still natural.
But if it has changed to be more smelly, more frequent, and accompanied by diarrhea like in humans. Then usually the cat is having problems with its digestion or there is a disease.
You should consult a doctor if the cat often farts. Especially if accompanied by diarrhea. Also, read the symptoms of a cat catching a cold.
