Hobo is on my lap, Emma my lab is across the room on the chair. Emma is usually the one with gas if anyone has it, but idk if I would be smelling it from this far across the room that strongly or if Hobo has gas. If he does have gas I am guessing it is from his changes in wet food every evening?

My adult girl lets off some exceptional smells if there is any seafood in her diet.

Mine let some go when they are nervous or stressed. Also, occassionally if I introduce a new wet.

I don't think any of my cats have had gas.  Now and then the dogs will have it but very seldom.  I've always though gas was caused by undigested food in the gastric system.  I'll now have to research it for myself

Buddy gets gas. He lets out some toots when if you pick him up the wrong way or hug just a tad too tight. And stink? Woowee!

In nine years, my 2 cats have never had gas (around me). But once when I  had gas, and it scared them so bad they bolted out of the room!

Yeah if anyone around here has offensive gas it's usually me! :lol3:
My Wiggies used to have some nasty gas. Sometimes if you hugged him too hard or just picked him up, he would let one rip, and boy was it unpleasant! Since introducing a lot more fibre and reduced grains to his diet he's been much more socially acceptable. :)
