Yes, cats can fart. It is a normal part of their digestive process, although cat flatulence tends to be less noticeable than in some other animals because it is often silent and odorless. Occasionally passing gas is common and not usually a cause for concern. However, if a cat is farting frequently, has strong-smelling gas, or shows other symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea, it may indicate an underlying health or dietary issue that should be checked by a veterinarian. Factors like diet changes, food sensitivities, parasites, eating too quickly, or gastrointestinal conditions can contribute to a cat's flatulence. In general, occasional farting in cats is normal and healthy.
