What causes gas in a kitten?

Answer by  smellycat22 (1129)

Cat food containing soy products may cause gas. Eating too fast or too much in one setting can also lead to gas. Try to control the amount of food the cat ingest by giving out more smaller meals. Putting an obstacle in the bowl can slow him down (ex. ping pong ball). Change to a different food can also help.

Are you feeding it any dairy? Cat's are lactose intolerent and should only be fed speaial kitten milk. The other option is a sudden change in diet, or food that is too rich. See if you can find out what the previous owner fed it.

Many things can cause gas in a kitten. The most common is something the cat ate. It might have ingested something in the house that is wasn't supposed to, or it might have eaten a different kind of food that slightly upset its stomach.
