Changing your cat&#8217;s diet can give them the stinkiest farts. My one cat Sam has this problem. He&#8217;s 3 years old and he still has problems when we change his food. When he was a kitten &#8211; if you changed his food it would give him diarrhea. Fortunately he grew out of that. But he still kicks out the silent stinkers! Or if he eats something when he&#8217;s outside &#8211; like a mouse. Oh boy&#8230; so if you have a cat or a kitten that has bad farts and you&#8217;ve recently changed his food that could be a problem. Give them a day or two to see if it gets better. If it doesn&#8217;t try switching to a premium food.<\/p>\n<p>Also the better foods are better for the cat. Go figure. Iams &#8230; it&#8217;s ok. My favorite is Science Diet. The kitties tend to eat less of it &#8211; it&#8217;s got more nutrition and fills them up faster. I believe it&#8217;s called nutrient dense. There&#8217;s good news on that &#8230; less in, less out. They use the litter box less. And that is a great thing.<\/p>\n<p>There is a down side. Premium food has a premium price. But if the cats are eating less they they bag of food will last longer. But it still costs more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK let&#8217;s be blunt.
