    My cat who i think is about 7yrs old, has in the past week or two started to have REALLY smelly farts :( there has been no change in diet. Any idea what might be causing this? I presume changing food is the way to go?

    Dude has had lethal farts since his accident. A combination of reduced gut motility from the accident and a lack of tail to someone block the farts!! Gut motility could change as they get older which could explain what's going on with your kitty, I found using a better quality food is reducing the amount of times he farts (does nothing for the smell though!!)

    Oh you poor thing! My ginger cat Beau used to be lethal with farting! They were like silent bombs! No warning just a horrible smell! It very rarely happens so I think he must have eaten something elsewhere and it didn't agree with his stomach, maybe the same has happened to your cat?

    it must the ginger genes as mine is also ginger and as for eating elsewhere he would if he wasn't too lazy to walk in the cold weather

    as I type he has won the now nightly battle for the best seat on the couch with my wife he keeps head butting her glasses off so she cant watch the telly so she gives in and moves no fear id get the couch
