Cats can also suffer from flatulence.
A common reason for poor digestion can be, for example, the wrong diet.
Does your cat suffer from flatulence?
When the velvet bunnies fart, most of them do so almost silently.
The smell is all the more intense.
If you notice it in your cat from time to time, it doesn't have to mean anything bad.
However, if it happens regularly or even more often, take your velvet paw to the vet so that he can find out the cause.

Possible causes of flatulence in cats
In many cases, flatulence is caused by poor diet.
Make sure you choose high-quality, suitable cat food.
If the cat accidentally caught a piece of food that it does not tolerate, this can also be the reason.
It is well known that cats do not tolerate milk either, as they are usually lactose intolerant.
Or maybe the outdoor cat ate something spoiled?
If, for example, diarrhea and vomiting are added to the flatulence, worms could also be the culprit.
However, especially in older cats, a slower metabolism can also be the reason why they sometimes have (slight) digestive problems.
In young cats that are weaned from their mother's milk, the change in diet can be the reason.
Possible symptoms of bloating in cats include:
Wrong food
Food allergy or intolerance
worm infestation
Diet change
declining metabolism, especially in old age
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
lack of exercise

Watch velvet paws closely
Only a veterinarian who examines the cat thoroughly can rule out physical causes.
That's why you shouldn't hesitate if you notice the flatulence.
A bloated stomach can sometimes cause the cat to feel pain.
Watch the animal closely - if the cat changes its behavior, it can be a sign that something is wrong with it.
Discuss with the veterinarian what you can possibly change in the cat's diet.

Why many cats fart silently
If cats only fart now and then, in many cases it can be completely harmless.
Connoisseurs explain why it is almost silent in many house tigers by saying that the pressure caused by the gases in the intestine is comparatively low and the gases also escape more slowly than in other animals.
Which is why in many cases there is at most a quiet hissing noise.
Depending on how the cat is lying, the noise can sometimes get louder.
At the latest, the intense smell should attract the attention of cat owners.
He is probably spared very few of them.
