Do animals cough, sneeze, burp, fart, or otherwise?

We used to have a cat that would stand by you,when you opened your eyes(to wake up) she would sneeze on you. Some weird ritual,I guess.

DUh, when my dad and I fart, we blame it on my dog sometimes :wink:

I compound everyone elses answers… I have seen various animals do al of the above.

Heck yeah, animals cough. It doesn’t sound quite like a human cough, but they cough all right. My cats cough all the time (then a disgusting hairball comes out. Eww!)

My dad has two cats. One is a very handsome and dignified black cat, who burps very quietly occasionally. It is extremely funny. What isn’t funny is the other cat, who farts a lot. And I do mean a lot. It is difficult to be in the same room with him.


“That’s entertainment!” —Vlad the Impaler

My only experience with feline flatuence comes from the time we were hanging outside this warehouse in an industrial park at one of those warehouse parties. Well someone had Taco Bell, and everyone was chowing down when along came the scrawniest, most malnourished cat you’ve ever seen. He was just looking at us wantonly, probably having smelled the Taco Bell feast from a mile away. So I unfold a soft taco and set it down on the ground. The cat comes right over and eats, and eats, and eats, until the whole thing except the soft-taco part is gone. Here’s the funny part, the cat looks up with the weirdest look on its face as if to say “You humans actually eat this crap?!?!?” and it swaggers over to a patch of weeds about 15 feet away and lets loose. I’ll spare you the crude details, but it was loud and we were all ROFLOAO.

My cat is a gas machine. Very, very embarrasasing and very very smelly.

By the way if there are any kitty owners that can make diet reccomendations to rid the littlre puss of his feline flatulance, Id appreciate it.

I can tell you’ve never been in a room with a dog that ate the wrong thing. Puking comes to mind when I think of it.
Horses are great gas machines as are cows. Cows get blamed for gobal warming. The government pays to do cow methane studies.

I think I know where Phobia is going with this. Not only do dogs barf, they will invariably chow down on the fresh chunder; that is, if they get to it before one of their compadres does. Dogs apparently find vomit irresistable. On a tangent, my brother keeps horses, and his dogs find fresh steaming horse manure to be quite a treat. Nothing like getting a kiss from a dog with road apple breath.

If you want to cut down on your pet’s problem with gas, the best thing to do is put them on a premium food like Science Diet or Iams, or Eukanuba. These foods are made with better ingredients than cheaper brands. Better ingredients means easier digestability, hence, no gas problems and stools will have less of a smell to them as well. Also, since the premium foods are more nutritious, the pet can eat less (meaning that even though the food is more expensive, it will last you longer), and they won’t go to the bathroom as often.

My cat, The Jazzman, burps and farts to beat the band.

And you cannot possibly miss either of them.
Also, people who complain about dog breath should take a close sniff of a cat’s breath sometime.


Is an appreciation of beauty a function of the human soul?

If your pet’s breath is that bad, perhaps it is time for a dental procedure! They get tartar and gingivitis just like we do. Bad breath is the first clue your pet is suffering from dental disease.


Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.–Coleridge

Of course they cough, sneeze, burp, and fart, I have Exhibit A (a cat) right in front of me. I’ve owned countless cats and always get a queasy ominous feeling when one of them sneezes more than once or twice a day. Cats do not get “a little cold”, they get roaring upper respiratory infections resulting in high vet bills and/or death… They must be vaccinated when they are kittens against dread cat diseases. Speaking of horses farting…heard the joke about Queen Elizabeth out horseback riding with some lackey, and her horse loudly passed gas. She said , “oh, sorry about that”, and the companion replied, “no need to apologize M’am, if you hadn’t said anything I would have thought it was the horse done it”.

My dog will sometimes be walking along and fart… only it sounds more like a whistling squeek (no butt cheeks to flap I suppose). The funny thing is that it never fails to suprise the HELL out of him, its like hes been shot in the butt with a rubber band. He jumps and whips around to see what it was, he then sniffs for awhile in (what I assume is) wonder. Very amusing!

My dogs love to burp. Eat fast, look right at me and burp. I wonder if that means they liked/disliked the meal or if they want more.

They have a whole system for sneezing at human soaps, perfumes, aftershaves and cologne. The most severe reaction is several sneezes in a row followed by rubbing a paw over the nose several times.

Good joke.

My brother has a Sharpie that when sleeping will fart, and wake immediately. It will circle looking for what just happened.
