Yesterday's surprise from Boris

[George K]

I have a stool next to my desk, and that's where Boris likes to sit.

He hops up, lets me scratch his head, and occasionally gets a treat.

Just now, he hopped up and "Oh LORD, what's that smell????"

I've never smelled a cat fart...and I never want to - again.

It almost smelled "human."

Worse, actually.

Pet WebMD: "Cats need to eat appropriate food or they can get an upset stomach and gas. Some foods that trigger gas in cats are food with high fiber content or too much red meat. Eating spoiled food or garbage is also a trigger for gas. Many cats can't digest dairy products and those cause gas for them."

Boris could've gotten at some spoiled food that y'all discarded. That would account for it being one time only.

Goto "cat farts smell like rotten eggs" for more.

Isn't it a pity that there is no digital representation of your experience that you could add to your post?

I thought this thread was going to be about Mr. Johnson.

Thankfully, nothing nearly so odious.

Preach, brother. Stella's farts were NASTY, and when she crapped in the box it was even worse. Way worse than humans. That seems to have settled down now that she's not on all kitten food.
