What is it with a cat's digestive tract? All they do is eat kibble and hork up hair balls. Where does that stench come from? Dogs are bad (and so am I), but nothing can keep up with a cat. They're like walking nerve gas canisters.

....”What is it with a cat’s digestive tract? nothing can keep up with a cat. They’re like walking nerve gas canisters”....

ROTFLOL.....But how about this.....

How do our cats feel when we fart?

Believe it or not, your cat might actually like the smell of your farts (gross!). You may notice that your cat starts sniffing the air after you fart. If your cat runs away after you fart, the noise may have scared him — or, your farts are really really stinky! If your farts are that stinky, you probably should not be complaining about your cats farts!

A tidbit about cats farting.....

“Cats are carnivores and are generally on a diet rich in protein. Protein-rich diets produce small amounts of ‘intensely stinky gas’ because proteins contain lots of sulfur... Because there is only a small amount of gas, your cat’s farts are probably silent most of the time... Silent but deadly, of course!”

...cats don’t feel embarrassed about farting so they just let it rip (like kids do!)
...the amount of gas produced is extremely potent, even though it is a small amount
...the gas is released more slowly when cats fart due to the horizontal orientation of their gastrointestinal system

“hork up hair balls”

Hair balls are a normal part of everyday life in my house. Also, regular vomit from one or the other of them. Since mine are all indoor cats, there is no shortage of puke and hair balls to clean up.
