Well, in the spirit of the Jupiter thing, how about Comet? You know, a hairy thing with a gaseous tail. ---

I’ve had a ton of cats, and none of them are farters. What causes them to do this? My vote is for Jupiter. ---

I don’t know if this will help, but my dog had terrible gas. I took him and a stool sample to the vet after a bout of diarrhea and found he had worms. Once the worms were gone, so was the gas. Maybe you should deworm your kitten. As for a name,I’d give him one to be proud of. How about “Kon-Tiki”, after Thor Heyerdahl’s boat. StG ---

Vladimir Pootin’? Or Biscuit (after some TV movie I saw ages ago where they called the act of fumigation “floating an air biscuit”). ---

Farthead always worked for my dog. Could work for the cat. You might want to change the cats diet. I had a cat “George” that was a smelly cus while on that nasty Cat Chow. Put him on Science Diet and no more gas. ---

I kinda guessed it might be the Kitten Chow, since he didn’t gas us at all the entire drive up I-95, but the day after we got there, it got bad. But even if he gets past the farting, he needs a name, if only for when he goes to the vets. Keep 'em coming, folks - these are great!! ---

The Fartful Dodger? Windy? Cheddar? Squeak? Fanny? Air bandit? Buttmint? Fecat? Or my favorite… Le Pet O’ Maim? Still **FCM** , on a boat your husband will probably need a backup windbreaker. ---

I really like Jupiter. Just in case Mr. FCM doesn’t, my contribution (since kitty is gray and white) is Foggy or Fogger. ---
