What Causes Flatulence in Cats?
• High carbohydrate intake causes flatulence in cats. This is because cats do not have the enzyme they need to digest carbs. Cats should not be eating high carb meals or treats. • Drinking large quantities of milk and swallowing a lot of air are other causes of passing gas in cats. Contrary to popular belief, cats should not be drinking excessive amounts of milk. It really is not good for them. • Bacteria build up from fermenting foods like broccoli, cauliflower and beans can cause gas in cats. • Flatulence can be caused by food allergies, especially soy products.
