LOL! LOL!..(Sorry to laugh, but that's funny. My son just asked me yesterday if our cats ever farted. LOL!)
OK, now to your question. Try changing his diet. Give him some of the hairball remedy stiff and make sure he has access to fresh grass.

try changing your cats diet to dry, My cat had the most awful farts when I was feeding her fancy feast wet, now she only gets two teaspoons of it a day because any more of it and she has really bad gas. I guess the wet food was too rich for her tummy to handle so the rest of the day she gets dry food. But she dose love the wet food.

This has happened to me, too! Don't worry. You should probably change their food. Believe me, this helps! If a certain type of food doesn't agree with the cat, it farts or pukes. Try this, it works! For me it did!!! (Science Diet is a very good type of cat food, it's the best.) I recommend it to you.

Try feeding him Brewer's Yeast. You can get it in powdered form at most pet stores and some human health food stores. You can just sprinkle it on his wet food, and he should gobble it up - most cats love it.
A couple of tablespoons a day should do the trick. As a nice side benefit, it makes the cat taste bad to fleas, too.

If you are giving your cat any dairy, stop. They do not have the digestive enzymes to digest lactose. Purina puts out a product called "Cat Milk" that comes in a container like a juice box. If your cat is otherwise healthy, I would change her diet. I found this article, but I would take her to the vet if she shows any other signs of distress. One of mine happens to fart when I put her in the carrier to go to the vet. My male cat, I think, just likes to fart, like most guys! :-)
Changing from a commercial dry food that contains corn, chicken meal, and soybean meal to a dry food that contains lamb meal, rice, and barley may be helpful.
Vegetable-based foods containing strongly flavored, sulfur-containing vegetables or legumes should be avoided in flatulent patients. In some cases, reducing dietary protein content alleviates odoriferous flatus. In most cases, vitamin-mineral supplements should be avoided because these products can alter intestinal microbial activity. Because lactose in food and treats (e.g., cheese, ice cream, milk) may contribute to flatulence in adult animals, foods containing lactose should be eliminated from the diet. Foods that are high in fructose, resistant starch, and/or fermentable fiber should also be avoided. A series of dietary trials is often successful in finding a food that reduces excessive flatulence or objectionable flatus in individual pets.

I had a foster kitten that had REALLY BAD GAS. Its kinda funny, but yeah, it stinks! He was about three months old, but I made sure he only ate his cat food (dry). Eventually he grew out of it.

Change his food, feed him a digestive aid, give him a hairball remidy. It is probably the food.

it depends on what you are feeding them and if they eat for example meat and eggs that will create gas and if you don't know what to feed them check w/ your local vet
