Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Bear is a farter
I adopted two male kittens shortly before Memorial Day, Bear and Davey. Davey is long and lean, the stereotypical "curious cat" that can't stand not to be right in the middle of whatever you are doing. Bear is built like a bulldog and already has a pretty-good-sized old man's tummy. He's usually right behind Davey but whenever the action stops, he flops down. The important thing is, they only eat Science Diet dry food. I am married to a wonderful man who can produce more gas (burps and farts) than any person I've ever known. In the 18 years we've been married, he has driven me out of the room more than once. The other day, Bear was lying on the couch near me, and suddenly there was "something in the air". I said to Chuck "Bear farted!" and Chuck said "That was me." Well, given his tendencies I had to believe him. Since then there have been two more occasions, and we are forced to conclude that Bear is a farter. Always silent, always deadly. I've had cats that passed gas before, but only rarely and only when they had eaten something that upset their system. I guess Bear is just going to be a farter, like his daddy.

You might consider slowly switching to another brand of catfood with less filler product and see if his fartiness goes away!

We've changed our kids' food a few times, mostly because they get very bored with same-old-same-old and scream for variety. Brandy still drops SBD's that could one-up the nuclear arms race.

She is a pudgy little calico and she has a singularly remarkable ability to cause us to receive calls from the Environmental Protection Agency. And the incredible thing is, they are truly silent. It'll be night, we're lying down with the lights and idiot box off, Brandy will come sit on my chest for pettings and before you know it we're getting dizzy from an excess of methane and sudden drop of oxygen levels. I've always compared her and Stosh to a couple of frat boys, or maybe Beavis and Butthead. She makes egg salad and beans washed down with skunk beer come out smelling like Shalimar.

He refused to eat anything other than tuna-flavored Puss'n'Boots brand moist cat food, which is stinky even when fresh out of the can. He would produce an all-but-visible cloud of rotting-fish smell, glare at the nearest human as if blaming them for the stench, and stalk out of the room in search of fresh air. He was one of the sweetest-mannered lap-funguses that I have ever met, but having him in your lap was at your own risk, since gas masks aren't available to civilians, as far as I know.

AAAACKKK!!! I think I remember that nasty stuff. Wasn't it kind of in-your face, nuclear-red in color? I suppose if there had been a d*g around, the cat would have blamed him. Those other house-critters have a bad reputaion for bad emission control, yet Brandy manages to get one up on them. > He was one of the sweetest-mannered lap-funguses that I have ever > met, but having him in your lap was at your own risk, since gas masks > aren't available to civilians, as far as I know. Kind of like Brandy coming into bed with us eavery night.

Joke time (vulgarity warning): A young lady brings her new boyfriend to dinner with her parents for the first time. The young man is quite nervous. But the family is competely unfazed, when a foghorn-like sound breaks the silence, and an unholy smell is released into the air. A few minutes later, the event is repeated. This time, Dad looks down under the table, and shouts "Damn it, Rover, get outta there!" The young man has an inner sigh of relief. All smile at each other, and try to resume the meal. Again, the silence is broken by a kind of broken-trombone sound effect, and a fetid odor. Dad looks under the table, waving his hands wildly. "I told ya, Rover," he shouts, "Get outta there before the bastard sh.ts on ya!"

My DH is sure that they are, and that you could obtain one at your friendly neighborhood military surplus place [assuming they have one in stock]. We own one, which DH "won" in a gift exchange at a church Christmas party. He says it helps a lot when he's cleaning the catbox. :-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL |
