As much as you love your cat, there are times when they can be a little gross. Times like when they repeatedly shove their butt in your face or the way they can fart when you pick them up. While some of the cat’s less-than-desirable behaviors can’t be changed, as they’re simply feline in nature, you might be able to do something about others. If your cat always farts when you pick them up, you’ve probably wondered why they were doing so and whether it could be stopped. A cat that always farts is experiencing excessive gas or flatulence, which can be for a few reasons. Knowing which of these reasons is the one for your cat may help you reduce the chances of this happening. The 5 Reasons Why Cats Might Fart When You Pick Them Up 1. Dietary Related You know how sometimes you eat something that simply doesn’t agree with your stomach. Well, the same thing can happen to your feline friend, and it could be the reason they’re farting when picked up. This could be a one-time thing if they’ve had a new treat or stolen some of your food. However, it could also be a long-term issue related to their regular cat food. If a cat’s diet doesn’t agree with their stomach, they could experience more gassiness, as well as gastrointestinal distress. A rise in flatulence could also mean that your cat has developed a food sensitivity or allergy to a food they’ve been consuming for years. If you think your cat’s diet may be to blame, try switching them (slowly!) to a different food. Choose something with high-quality, digestible ingredients. However, if your cat has dermatitis, vomiting, and diarrhea, it is worth consulting with a vet as these are signs of a food allergy among other things. Image Credit: New Africa, Shutterstock 2. Eating Habits Sometimes, the problem isn’t the food your cat is eating but how they’re eating it. Felines who eat too fast or tend to overeat can ingest extra air that builds up until it causes flatulence. This problem has a simple fix, though. If your cat eats too fast, you can get them a slow feeder that will help them eat far slower. If your pet tends to overeat, you may want to break their meals down into a few smaller meals a day rather than a couple of large meals. In either case, these things should help the cat to swallow less air resulting in fewer instances of farting. 3. How You Handle Them Your cat farting when you pick them up might be entirely on you! The way you handle your cat when you’re lifting them up could be forcing air out of their body in the form of farts. This is especially true if you tend to pick your cat up by holding them around their belly. Instead of picking them up this way, try picking them up by placing one hand under the front legs and one under the back legs. The issue might also be that you’re cuddling your cat too close to your body after you pick them up, which could cause air to move around and be released. If this is the case, loosen up your hold. Essentially, you want to avoid compressing your cat’s belly when picking them up or holding them to avoid triggering flatulence. Image Credit: BearFotos, Shutterstock 4. A Bad Fright There’s no doubt about it; felines have a tendency to be skittish. And this skittishness could be why they fart when you pick them up. How so? Well, you may inadvertently be startling your cat when you try to pick them up, which could cause them to pass gas, as it isn’t entirely uncommon for kitties to fart when they get frightened. To avoid this, try to let your cat know you’re there before picking them up. Also, try not to simply scoop them up while they’re playing or sleeping. Read their body language and don’t pick them up if they thrash, pin their ears, swish their tail, scratch, or bite when you do so. These signs are your cat telling you they are uncomfortable with being held. 5. Health Issues If your cat didn’t often fart before, but now they pass gas whenever you pick them up, there’s a good chance it could be related to a health issue. Constant gassiness is often related to gastrointestinal problems. Infections, parasites, inflammatory disorders, and cancers can affect the gastrointestinal tract and interfere with digestion, potentially leading to more farting. If you’ve noticed a recent uptick in flatulence in your feline or signs like inappetence, weight loss, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, take them to the vet for a check-up. Image Credit: Garna Zarina, Shutterstock Is Flatulence Normal in Felines? Flatulence is perfectly normal in felines, but when it’s excessive or accompanied by other signs you should seek veterinary advice. If your cat has only recently begun farting a lot, there could be something going on with their digestive system. The same goes for if your cat’s farts have suddenly gotten much stinkier. But unless your cat seems to have excessive gas or suddenly potent farts, there’s rarely a need to be alarmed. Why Do My Cat’s Farts Smell So Bad? Farts never smell good, but sometimes your kitty’s farts are particularly powerful. If your cat has exceptionally stinky gas, they could be having issues with their food, whether that be a sudden allergy to something in it or just trouble digesting it. It could also indicate an underlying health issue, such as internal parasites. Again, if your cat’s gas is foul and not getting less so, contact your vet to make sure everything is alright with the cat. Image Credit: Pressmaster, Shutterstock Conclusion Felines can experience flatulence for many reasons, and this isn’t uncommon. However, if you’ve noticed that your cat keeps farting when you pick them up, it’s likely because of one of the reasons mentioned here. If you can determine the reason, chances are you can reduce the amount of gas your pet has, which will lead to fewer instances of them farting when picked up.

Pulsars are among the finest clocks in the universe, second only to the most advanced chronometers humans have invented. Pulsars are a type of neutron star that arises after the death of a massive ordinary star. They rotate quickly and emit pulses of light, marking the progress of the cosmic clock. These pulses can be used to find invisible objects in the Milky Way. New observations of pulsars have revealed mysterious objects that cannot yet be explained, writes Futurism. For years, astronomers have used the extremely regular flashes of light emanating from pulsars as cosmic beacons to keep track of time and observe gravitational waves. However, there are times when the light pulses do not arrive on time. Scientists believe that a huge invisible mass may pass in front of pulsars, causing subtle delays in signals at the microsecond level. What exactly these masses are is still unknown. Study author John LoSecco from the University of Notre Dame, USA, studied pulsars and discovered these mysterious objects. While presenting his observations at an astronomers’ meeting at the University of Hull, he was asked not to call them free-floating planets or clumps of dark matter. For now, these objects are called concentrations of mass, because it is not yet possible to determine exactly what they are. “I have been warned not to call them planets, not to call them dark matter, just call them mass concentrations because, just by looking in the radio, you can’t determine what they are,” says LoSecco. The scientist believes they could be dark matter, a planet not associated with any star, a brown dwarf (a failed star that could not initiate hydrogen fusion in its core), a white dwarf (the remnant of a star similar to the Sun), or something else entirely. LoSecco and his colleagues created a catalog of these mysterious mass concentrations that pass in front of pulsars using data from ground-based radio telescopes. So far, they have discovered 12 unknown objects. According to LoSecco, if a massive object passes in front of the pulsar, the pulse of its light suddenly changes, causing a delay in these signals. One of these invisible masses was only one-fifth the mass of the Sun, and LoSecco suggests it could be that elusive dark matter. Dark matter is thought to make up 85% of all matter in the universe but has yet to be directly observed. Much more observation is needed before it can be determined what causes minute discrepancies in pulsar signals and to understand what the mysterious mass concentrations actually are. This new research is also useful for improving the accuracy of space clocks. The post Mysterious massive objects have been discovered in deep space appeared first on Anomalien.com.

A revolutionary discovery in the field of gerontology shocked the scientific community. A group of scientists has developed a drug that can significantly increase the lifespan of laboratory animals. This achievement could mark a turning point in the fight against aging. The researchers focused on the protein interleukin-11, known for its connection with accelerated aging processes. The developed drug blocks the action of this protein, which leads to impressive results. The treated rats experienced significant improvements in overall health: a reduced risk of developing cancer, and improved hair quality, vision, and muscle function. The most striking result was an increase in the life expectancy of experimental animals by a quarter. Rats treated with the new drug lived an average of 155 weeks, while their relatives in the control group lived only 120 weeks. This significant difference clearly demonstrates the potential of the developed drug. Professor Stuart Cook, one of the study’s co-authors, noted that the treated rats showed noticeably fewer signs of aging and frailty. Moreover, they experienced an increase in muscle strength, which is an important indicator of the overall health of the body. The researchers did not limit themselves to just blocking interleukin-11. They also conducted experiments with genetically modified rats that had the gene responsible for producing IL-11 removed. This approach resulted in a 20% increase in life expectancy. However, the most impressive results were obtained precisely when using a drug that blocks the action of IL-11. Importantly, the treatment also had a positive effect on telomeres, structures at the ends of chromosomes that play a key role in the aging process and the development of age-related diseases. The slowdown in telomere shortening is another confirmation of the effectiveness of the developed drug. The post New anti-aging drug successfully tested on rats appeared first on Anomalien.com.
