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

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

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!

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.

Guy · 04-22-2010, 10:06 PM

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

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

s, however, don't fart.

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

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!

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.

Top 10 animals that fart
Termites
Camels
Zebras
Sheep
Cows
Elephants
Labradors/Retrievers
Humans (vegetarian)
Humans (others)
Gerbils

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

DapperButch · 04-22-2010, 08:27 PM

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

Miss Scarlett · 04-22-2010, 09:33 PM

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.

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

Duchess · 04-27-2010, 01:18 PM

OMG do they EVER!!!! My Mimi is an expert at clearing the freakin' room..

Licious · 04-30-2010, 04:45 PM

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.
