Is it normal for cats to have stinky farts?
Cats do get gas. Like many other animals, a cat has gases inside its digestive tract, and this gas leaves the body via the rectum. Cats usually pass gas quietly and there isn’t much odor to it. However, sometimes cats can have excessive bloating, discomfort, and bad-smelling gas.
