What is a cat fart?
Cats fart just like humans. Farts in cats are caused by the gas that is produced in the intestines being expelled from the intestinal tract. The frequency and smell of cat farts varies from cat to cat.
Causes of farting
Causes of cat farts include:
- indigestion of food
- excess food
- type of food
- stress
The frequency and odor of cat farts are influenced by these factors.
possible illness
If your cat farts frequently or has a strong odor, it may be sick. Below are some common diseases.
bowel obstruction
Intestinal obstruction is a disease in which a foreign object or tumor becomes lodged in the intestinal tract, making it impossible to pass stools. There are times when you just have a fart and no stool.
inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel disease is a disease in which the intestinal tract becomes inflamed, and symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and frequent farts appear.
intestinal parasites
Intestinal parasites are parasites in the intestinal tract that cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and gas.
If your cat has frequent farts or has a strong odor, you should consult your veterinarian for proper treatment.
how to reduce odor
Here are some ways to reduce the smell of cat farts:
- manage food
- Give foods high in fiber
- Regular brushing and bathing
- improve room ventilation
- Use cat deodorant
If you've tried these methods and your dog's farts still smell bad, you should consult your veterinarian for proper treatment.
