We have a 20lb cat. Quite the butterball. Luckily for us no farts have been detected.

[DapperButch]

:dog: is not a big farter, no. Perhaps it is what you are feeding her?

[Miss Scarlett]

Shelia's cat is the only flatulent feline I have ever encountered. She's as bad as a dog! So help me!

My little kitty, on the other hand, is far too ladylike to do such a thing.

Yeah I have a 22lb cat, and he doesn't fart much, but man he can unload some smelly poop. Good gosh!!!

I think people like to feed cute lil dogs all kinds of people food that they probably shouldn't have. My brother feeds her chicken, turkey and the like whenever he's around her. She's turning into quite the rolly polly too. LOL

My rabbit has never farted (to my knowledge) but I have seen other bunnies fart.

Ok that's fake! I don't think rabbits fart!

[fever]

My dog's farts are quiet and not too deadly. However, a close friend has a border collie who can clear a room!!! Good thing we always have matches handy. :cheesy:

[Guy]

Yup, one of my dog farts and then he will turn around and look at his butt

My Great Dane can clear out a house! (and remove your eyebrows) :runforhills:

[Andrew, Jr.]

My late dog Lil and Dino both fart. OMG...the only word for it is EVACUATE!

My frogs don't fart.......but I've seen (and heard) Myron burp. :frog::winky:

Yes, Yes they do, both my dog and the cats!!!

cats are worse than dogs for the most part!!!
:ballcat:

[NJFemmie]

My cats never did, although - Charlie did once - as he was stretching - and he quickly whipped around as if something just violated him.

I think Ember may have had an episode not too long ago, but that was the first time ever. Naturally, Mare tried to blame me for it, but hey - I own mine.

The dog at work, I suspect, passes gas. Thankfully she doesn't sleep in my office. (The day before last she was ripping them left, right and center, lol...)

My very first girlfriend had a Sharpei who would frequently pass gas (poor dog had a condition, seriously)... but what was funny was - the noise and sensation of letting out the gas would startle him and he would run clear across the room and then turn around as if he was being chased. He had the capacity to clear out the house, never mind the room.

[NJFemmie]

My rabbit has never farted (to my knowledge) but I have seen other bunnies fart.

Ok that's fake! I don't think rabbits fart!

Rabbits eat raw, crude vegetables, they MUST fart.
(All animals pass gas, some are just more .... "delicate" about it than others, lol).

[AtLast]

Yanno.... food is the culprit with gastro stuff with pets. Try to find the best foods for your pets delicate system. Constant gas doesn't feel good for animals, either!

[suebee]

My dog's farts are quiet and not too deadly. However, a close friend has a border collie who can clear a room!!! Good thing we always have matches handy. :cheesy:

If we lit a match when one of our kitties farted it would clear a helluva lot more than the room! :|

:floatbee:s, however, don't fart.

[Rook]

My brothers siberian husky will find Any way to lay near me, to get my attention..However, once he succeeds...often late at night, he will fart...
Right there...
Next to me...
I usually catch a small subtle wiff, then it gets stronger....until it reaches "unbearable" and he's laying his muzzle on his paws lookin left & right...
He quickly gets away cuz thats when I stomp foot and say "GIT, u nasty lil beast, I know u know what u did...I can see your eyes!!".....
My ferrets have yet to fart, to my knowledge...
And yes, it has everything to do with Quality food...
Human "dinner"...or lunch for that matter, is for Humans...leftovers that are given to dogs..or cats, simply cuz they put on the "sad eyes" or coax u, is not a good idea..no matter how cute it may seem..[Some dogs can be allergic to what we eat, some cats as well, Some foods we consume can actually kill either animal...and yes, cats , once adult, are lactose intolerant....]
If they give "sad eyes"..assert yourself in the Pack and give 'em maybe a treat specific to their needs...
Most of the time, they'll be content...
I never give Enik anything off my plate even when it's for trash...
I was once called cruel, callous, heartless because I absolutely refused to give him one of my [rather expensive] green granny smiths..i shrugged it..
They bought him cheap apples..
When he "blessed" his kennel, I pointed out "So...now that u're cleaning him up....and the Kennel...I'm still a selfish prick?"
My brother mumbled and dropped the issue...
Nowadays he asks what are suitable treats, I told him, and he said
"k, youre good at this, u buy it for him, I pay u back, I swear"
I figured he's tired of the Dogs atrocious "somethn crawled up the ass and died" Farts

[Canela]

My 7 year old chihuahua occasionally does, and it smells like bad broccoli...that's how we know it's her...otherwise my daughter will try the "MOM!" thing and laugh and laugh...I don't find it funny at all...

My little chihuahua has yet to do so...to my knowledge...the cat either...again, to my knowledge...heh.



:dogwalking:

[Liam]

I remember The Poodle farting once. He looked at me, as if to say, "Gee, you sure are stinky."

[WolfyOne]

I used to have a dog and as she got older, the farts got worse.
She could actually be in a sound sleep and rip one that was bad enough to wake her.....
.....so bad, she'd get up and leave the room :|

[scootebaby]

i have/had(left her with my mom)a chihuahua whom while in my custody was lucky if 4lbs...she would lay on couch between my legs,butt against my "stuff"..id feel her body move slightly,see her eyebrows go up,ears fall back..then id get a whiff and be like "Daisy Mae what did you do...she would proceed to look up at me first with sad eyes then run up my body and around and around my neck--as if to give me the full effect...i had 2 ferrets...one real skinny one,one male FAT one(bubby was his name) id get them out of cage and let them run around in my room for awhile then bubby would suddenly stop and look at me as his body vibrated...id say "bubby did u just fart? at which point he would flatten himself against the floor and look at me like i couldnt see OR smell him.. sure miss those guys

As a former bunny owner I can tell you that rabbits do fart....and that broccoli makes them fart really, really bad :fart:

[Cyclopea]

Rabbits eat raw, crude vegetables, they MUST fart.
(All animals pass gas, some are just more .... "delicate" about it than others, lol).

Yes I think you must be right!
This from sciencemuseum.org.uk :

Do rabbits fart?
Quite simply – yes. In fact, nearly all animals do, as it’s a necessary part of digesting food.

Nearly all animals?
Well, almost. If by ‘fart’ you mean ‘release gas from the gut’, then all animals with guts will, in fact, fart. Insects, fish, lizards, snakes, cats, dogs, mice, elephants . . . almost any creature you can think of. In fact, the only ones that don’t fart are those that didn’t evolve guts – like sponges, jellyfish and some types of worm. Guts are for taking in food and plopping out waste products, and these animals either absorb food through the surface of their bodies, or eat and poo through the same hole.

Gross. I think I’d rather have guts.
Absolutely. But then you have no choice but to fart. As food is digested in the gut, gases are made from the chemical reactions inside. So it’s either fart or starve for most animals. Including us.

Really?! You mean you have to fart? That’s brilliant!
Well, again, that depends on what you mean by ‘fart’. If you mean ‘release gas from your bottom’, then, yes – you have to.. It’s happening all the time, whether you like it or not. But if you mean ‘trumpet loudly and award yourself a mark out of ten’, then no – this isn’t strictly necessary.

Curses. So farts are just food gas from our guts, then?
Well, that’s not the whole story. Most animals (including us) also have bacteria living in their guts that release more gases as they, too, break down food. Many animals – particularly plant-eaters like rabbits – couldn’t live without these bacteria in their guts. For land animals, some fart gas also comes from air swallowed with food accidentally. All this gas has to go somewhere, so it gets pushed along with the food to the animal’s bottom . . . and you know the rest. Of course, some animals fart more than others.

OK – which ones? I have to know...
Some animals produce so much fart gas that it spreads around the planet’s atmosphere and plays a role in global warming. Scientists used to think cows were one of the worst for this, but it turns out that it’s probably their burps, rather than their farts, that do it. Termite farts, on the other hand, produce more methane (one of the gases involved in global warming) than all of our cars, planes and factories put together! The termites can’t help this, of course. It’s because they need more of those gut bacteria than most animals in order to digest their woody diet. But it has earned them the number one spot in our Top 10 animals that fart list. The rest are in no particular order, other than how stinky I’ve found them to be.

Camels
Zebras

Well, lookie what I found:
**************************
Fart (Definition)
Originally described by the Oxford English Dictionary as, "A slight explosion between the legs," a fart is a combination of gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) that travels from a person's stomach to their anus. When a person swallows too much air or eats foods that the human digestive system cannot digest easily gas becomes trapped in the stomach. The only way for this excess gas to exit the body is through the anus.
Hydrogen sulfide gas, containing sulphur, causes the famous aroma. The more sulfur in your diet, the higher the aromatic potential. Sulphur rich foods include: beans, cabbage, cheese, soda, and eggs.

The scientific name for a fart is flatus or flatuence.

Other popular names for farts or farting include: gassers, stinkers, pongs, air biscuits,bombers, low-flying ducks, barking spiders, cheek slappers, rotten eggs, wet ones, poots,
You can pass gas, break wind, toot, poop, trump, pump, slip one, blast, beef, poof, s**t, s**te, rip one, let one rip, let one go, let one fly, step on a duck, give an opinion, blow the butt trumpet, cut one and cut the cheese.

Reactionary statements include: "Incoming!" "Ewww who did that?" "Ooowph, who let go?" "Ghhod, did a rat crawl up your bum and die?" "Phwawh, gemme ouda here...Jeez-us!" "Keee-riste, do you issue gas masks with that?" "Why are you all looking at me?" "I didn't do it."

The most fearsome fart is the SBD (Silent But Deadly).


On the average, a healthy person farts 16 times a day, male or female...mostly while asleep!!
The honorable title of "most flatulant animal" goes to the Elephant.
Farts that contain a large amount of methane & hydrogen can be flammable.


Japanese for fart: "onara"

[Rook]

ZOMG!!!! My ferrets fart?!?!...Wow..
The food I give 'em must be real good then.{for the most part..I wont deny their poop reeks}
I honestly think "passing gas" is needed (avoid stomach aches) BUT...at the same time, u [as a human] can always act like your mother taught u some Manners...
Excuse yourself, try to avoid it while u make an exit {for the lazy ppl, clenching booty actually tones up}
You'll thank yourself later when that Fuckalicious date calls ya back....:cracked:
However, an animal obviously doesn't care much for manners.... :amsmiling:

And now I know a Japanese word I can call my brother and he will never know how I learned it ....

[TxsCharmr]

Yes ... oh yes....the dawg farts!!! The kat...never heard one.
Now we must include our human pets in this as well....and all im gonna say is that sometimes there is a need to take a walk outside!

They say that :farmbull: farts are helping to destroy the ozone layer. :farmer:

[Lynn]

We have an older dog, collie/lab mix, who is on insulin and a very strict diet. His farts smell like a skunk has sprayed the room. His vet did say we could give him Gas-X, but I don't like to do that too much. We tried giving him plain yogurt to maybe help the good bacteria situation, but he actually got worse. :blink:

He's a Labrador Retriever... we're doomed.

I try to tell myself that I can get used to anything... and then my self recoils in horror: "omg! you want to get used to THAT??!!" :scared:

[Massive]

My Aunt had a cat, a purebred silver tabby, called Rigby, who was ever the gentlecat, he would fart in his sleep, wake up, glare at my Aunt and then stalk out the room thoroughly disgusted...
My current cat also farts, and when she's awake and it happens, she stares at her arse as if to say "Well what the f*ck was that!?!" then turns to look at me like I can make her understand what just happened.
I'm not sure which is worse though, dog fart or cat fart, cat farts tend to be fairly fishy, but a dog we had when I was a little kid could clear the entire ground floor of the house when he'd been given a bone!

[Sachita]

I board dogs. Farts are common place around here, although some are worse then others. Imagine a 6 dog fart fest. I use to hard boil eggs as treats.:farmeggs: I learned the hard way that its not a good idea. I have dogs that stink so bad they will wake me from a dead ass sleep.

[T D]

OMG most of these responses are tooooo funny!!!!!! LOL :superfunny:

Such good sports ya all are ;)

[Bit]

Some foods are worse than others; we were given a big bag of Beneful, and the dogs ate about half of it before payday rolled around again.

:confused: :| :shocking: :scared::thud:

It didn't matter that I was sick that day... it didn't matter HOW sick I was. I was at that store and a bag of Iams was the first thing in my cart!

24 hours to relief---ahhhhh....

Mr Smitty the one eyed rocking on limping kitty crossed his eyes when I asked him about this...he said (indignantly) that we hairless two legged ones are complex simpletons and this is right up there with Kitty Porn...and has refused to give me permission to post about his "releases"...

my old girl Story is such a genteel lady..she is in her 90s as far as dog age/breed goes..I often envision her as a lace collared victorian woman...she would be appalled if I even broached the subject with her so I shall refrain from answering about her as well...

but wait until Dawson the 200 lb drooling black newf comes to live with us...he will brag about it...he is an old man, retired stud..imagine him with gold chains around his neck..maybe a little leather...and a beer in his jowls...yeah..farts...yaaaaaaaaaaa

[Gemme]

There are 2 dogs in our household and, yes, when they are fed inappropriate foods, they stink it up from top to bottom (townhome). Greasy and super fat-filled foods are the worst.

*gag*

[Licious]

I have no pet at this time, however, when I was a wee girl, our Great Dane had to be put on a special diet. You think you know dog gas... until you have spent the evening with a "farty Dane".

We had an aerosol air freshener stashed in the living room, since after dinner,she usually perfumed the area. It was overwhelming. Poor thing, she didn't understand our exclamations of "UGH!" and the hissing of the spray...

We also fed her charcoal tablets.

Nothing really worked.

:seeingstars:

[Lynn]

I just took our stinky dog to the vet and talked about his nighttime gas, among other things. I posted earlier that he is diabetic and has other problems related to his age of 11 or 12.

Due to his diabetes, he is on a high fiber, high protein diet. The food we use is OK, it's not the most expensive food. The vet said that one thing that causes that gas is a poor fiber source. She recommends that the fiber ingredient in the food be beet fiber, not rice, as is most commonly used. She said the rice isn't digested as well. The dog is having his teeth cleaned soon, so she said not to make any changes right now--we want to be sure that his diabetes stays stable. But, I'm going to do some research in the meantime and see if we can find something affordable as well as appropriate. Will keep you informed.

[dixie]

Bacardi, our almost 60lb fat cat has always been on a special diet to help digestion. And I'm not sure how he got so tubby because he is an extremely finicky eater. Unless of course he's raiding the fridge when we're all in bed. But his diet food does cause a few "slipups" but luckily they aren't too fragrant. However...

Butch, our 5 month old Boston Terrier, is a different story entirely. He normally eats a good diet of healthy puppy foods, but on occasion there are some in the household who can't get past those "poor puppy eyes" when he's begging for a bit of people food. For his "favorite" human meals, he gets a small dish (usually a few TBSPfuls) of either chili or stroganoff. Sheesh...might as well clear the house when that happens. And he makes it worse, because he seems to be a prankster. He will curl up on your pillow at night to love on you, then turn around real quick with his butt in your face and let it all out before you can get away. Afterwards he seems so pleased with himself. (I think the butch of the house and my 12 year old son are both teaching him bad habits...Aargh!!!!!!!! lol) Nothing worse than stinky puppy farts...blech...

[cinnamongrrl]

My lil dog Cricket farts all the friggin time :blink: Most of the time they are audible and she at least has the decency to look embarassed...:|
