The reasons why cats’ farts are silent but smelly:

1. Mental stress

It is said that farts become smelly due to stress. There are various reasons for cat stress, but mental stress seems to worsen the condition of the intestines. Judging from the state of stress, a bad stomach will appear and the intestinal environment will be chaotic. This is a common phenomenon among us humans. If the intestines shake due to nervousness, bad bacteria will easily increase, and the combination of indigestion and other reasons will make farts smell bad.

2. Meal type

If you eat protein-rich foods, your farts will stink. If you only eat meat, your stool will smell bad. Normally, as things that cannot be digested in the small intestine are transported to the large intestine, they ferment and produce gas when broken down in the large intestine. It is said that this is the reason why farts smell more smelly. When food is not in line with the body, farts will also become smelly.

3. Intestinal obstruction

Intestinal obstruction refers to a state in which the flow of food and other materials in the intestines stops for some reason. If the movement of the digestive organs stops, food and gas will accumulate. In this way, the belly will swell, and the belly will look distended from the outside. Symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and gas accumulation may occur at this time. If it goes on for a long time, the terrible disease of intestinal rupture will occur.

4. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency

This is a disease that causes pancreatic damage. The pancreas is an organ that secretes "pancreatic juice" that helps food be digested and absorbed. It is said that if exocrine pancreatic insufficiency occurs, this pancreatic juice cannot be secreted successfully. When this disease occurs, food cannot be digested and absorbed, and even if you eat it, you may seem to be losing weight.

5. Diarrhea

Due to the high water content of the feces, diarrhea will turn into watery stools. Causes of diarrhea are also stress, but consider "small bowel diarrhea" which occurs when an abnormality is found in the small intestine where food is digested and absorbed. It seems that some cats suffer from chronic intestinal diarrhea caused by enteritis. Additionally, parasites and viral infections can cause diarrhea. When a cat has diarrhea, it is easy to smell the smell of farts.

How to deal with cat’s stinky farts?

Get rid of stress

If the cause of smelly farts is stress, try to avoid stress. Tension is also a cause of stomach relaxation. Stress can easily affect the movement of the intestines, so I want to avoid it as much as possible. Cats get stressed more easily than humans, so be aware.

Food adjustment

Cat food is rich in animal protein, but if it stinks due to overdose, it should be adjusted. Let's review the ingredients and adjust the amounts rather than continue a diet rich in protein and incompatible with the body's constitution. It is also recommended to separate meals as it is less likely to disturb the intestinal environment.

Supplement

I think cats’ gastrointestinal tracts are fragile, and some owners are worried about bad bacteria. soThe cat's diet needs to be improved, but I think it would be good to use supplements to improve the intestinal environment. When giving supplements, consult your veterinarian rather than making the decision yourself. Based on the cat’s physical condition, ask your veterinarian to give you a good supplement plan.
