Yes! You read that right. Elliot farts when I pet him. No joke!
He’s always been a farty cat. Elliot eats the same things Casper eats so it’s less likely to be a diet problem. Every cat is different. Food that one cat can eat okay might give another cat the farts. I guess Elliot’s a little gas bag. Eh?
Anyhow, I noticed that he only seemed to do it at certain times. Then one time, when I was petting him, I noticed him letting one go.
Elliot's a very needy cat. He follows us around the house, meowing. Whenever there's an empty lap, Elliot will be along in just a second. When I go to bed, he sleeps on me. Right on my chest with his butt in my face.
He also has a certain way he wants to be petted. You scratch him on the shoulders, down the spine to his tail. You scritch your fingers as you go. He really digs his back into your hand when you do that. He pushes his bum up in the air and his tail curls straight up. He stretches out his front feet and goes, "Purr-meow."
I think I might know what's going on... That spot at the base of a cat's tail is a 'hot spot.' Isn't it?
So, when you scratch him like that he starts feeling frisky. Right?
About twenty minutes ago, Elliot hopped up on my lap for some attention, right on cue. I started petting him and said to Casper's Girl-Human, "I bet he's going to fart!" About one minute later...
Jeez, Louize! Why do cat farts have to smell so bad? Worse than dog farts, by far!
Anyhow, that's how he wants you to pet him. He leans into it when you do. He'll lay on the floor and roll side to side as you scritch your way down his back and ribs. And, then, he lets loose!
Do cats fart when they get frisky? Elliot has been neutered. He's a little over a year old and we got him back from the vet exactly two months, today.
I suppose he could still have some hormones floating around in his system, yet. It doesn't even, necessarily, mean that he's feeling frisky. Maybe he just digs it? It could go either way, I guess.
But, do cats really fart when you pet them?

Xanthan gum is an intolerance both me and Krista shared. It presents the same way. When I figured it out in her, I figured it out in myself too.
