Farty cat

[Itsrainingten]

We have a kitten. 8 months old. Seems healthy. He had a check up at the vets about a week ago and all good. But he farts. A lot.
What can I do? He's been wormed. There is no diarrhoea. Vet seems to think he just eats too fast and swallows air.
Anyone else had a stinky cat? Got any tips on how to stop him?
I didn't even realise cats could fart.
Thanks

Every cat can have gas from time to time. It can get worse when they become really senior.

Every kitten I adopted that has had noxious gas has turned out to have some sort of infection that needed to be treated. Did they look at a stool sample under the microscope?

Slow feeder might help

No we didn't do the diarrhoea profile which I think is the only one that looks at everything gut related, because he doesn't have diarrhea. I did ask the vet if we should and he didn't think it was necessary really. He previously did have mycoplasma which was treated with a month of antibiotics, but that was presenting with respiratory symptoms that have been gone since a few days into the a/b course. I wonder if maybe he needs probiotics because now I think about it I don't remember him being stinky before his treatment. Could it maybe be that?

Our kitten was horribly stinky when he came to us. We changed his food to Felix and it fixed it. Maybe try different food. It did wonders for us

Reminds me of Phoebe's song from friends

"Smelly cat, smelly cat, what are they feeding you?"

Will give Felix a go. He's currently on Sheba

Raw food. Zero farts or stinky poos.

No real advice but I would urge you to keep him away from naked flames. 💥

Ahaha. We used to sing ‘smelly cat’ to our kitten all the time when he was still stinky.

Dcat only seems to get windy after licky lix - so we have to ration it! The cheese one isn’t as whiffy either

Our latest rescue did the most horrendous stinky poos! He prefers dry food to wet so someone advised me to try Scrumbles I'd never heard of it it but supermarkets stock it) and it's brilliant! It's gluten free. They have a wet version too but miladdo isn't a fan.

We had a family cat that farted when he ate cheese!

High protein content cat food should eliminate this, unfortunately more expensive than Sheba and felix etc but a lot of supermarket cat foods have low meat content and high in sugars and fillers.

Hi
Sympathy from me- it is the Sheba.
My cat loves it but is rationed as otherwise she farts like a set of bagpipes
