Well last night I was sitting on the couch, Cubby came up and was laying/ leaning up against me. As I was petting him I heard this loud noise that sounded like a fart. Cubby looked up at me with a look of suprise, his look was priceless. So I lifted up his tail to see if maybe he had a loud accident or something. Nothing was there, so I figured maybe it was something else around the house making some noise. About 10 minutes later he FARTED again. Or at least that's what I think it was. Again he had a look of suprise, again I checked his tail and his bottom and nothing was there. Today he has been going potty normaly and eating, drinking. The only thing I can think of is that he did get into some of my husband's chili last night. It wasn't very much at all. As soon as I noticed him eating it I took it away.

Could it have been the chili that did this to him. From the time he ate the chili until the time he farted on me the chili would have been in him for about 5 or 6 hours.

Is it normal for cats to fart? And if so is it normal to be that loud?

If he wasn't laying on me/ leaning on me I would have got up to get my camera and took a picture of his priceless look on his face. But he kept purring after the first and second time. He has had anal gland problems in the past so I figured maybe one of them drained. But I would have smelled that and seen it. But he hasn't been showing sign of having a problem with his anal glands again. So I'm confused.

Sorry this is so long. Thanks for reading this. And thanks in advance for the replys.
