If you have to question whether cats fart, you don't spend much time around your cat. It might not be very often, but you'll know when it happens.

Our dear departed boy, Leo (he was FIV+ and had some major digestive issues, hence the box label). I still have the box saved in my shed...

This one definitely does.

I have to assume the article author hasn't spent much time around cats if they thought they don't fart. Dog farts might be louder, but cat farts will peel the paint off your walls.

Mine do, usually close to my head

Mine never makes a sound, but it's deadly and the dog usually takes the blame.

When my cat had stomach issues and was put on a prescription wet food she got very gassy. Picking her up made it worse. She'll still let one out every now and then but it's not nearly as bad as it was. Those were some stinky toots.

One of our childhood cats would fart if you picked him up. They weren't very stinky so it didn't do anything, but he kept hoping.

Why had I never heard my cat fart? Dogs are such prolific farters—so why aren’t cats?

In a foundational 2001 study, a group of brave researchers in England collected and sniffed dog farts. The team found that the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in those farts correlated with worse odor rankings.

Ask anyone with a cat. Yes, they fart, mine likes to do it right in my face.

Sheesb, 'passing gas'. Around here we pass electricity instead. It's much better for the environment, and your pet lights up when they do it.

How can I get some money to fund a dumbass study like this?

I guess I need to learn to eat more slowly. Cat wisdom™

My feline overlord doesn't fart often, but when he does it clears the room and we have to open all the windows.
