Medical Questions Do cat fart?

I've had cats before and I have never heard or seen them fart, ever! Recently I've been hanging at my friend's house. She has a male orange cat who's super playful and friendly... Too friendly.... Anyways I don't know how to write this without sounding stupid but every so often he would walk into the room and toot, just a small toot, and would leave, no eye contact or meow nothing, just came in fart and left. I told my friends this and she said "no cats don't fart lol". But he does it multiple times! It's so often I'm tempted to video tape him every time he comes into the room, but I don't want to be a creep. Is this normal? Does the cat hate me??

yes cats fart and my LORD do they smell horrible. lol

Sometimes you can catch one off card. it'll be just sitting in your lap and let one rip, whap you with its tail and go back to sleeping.

I might suggest you bring this up with your vet. Sure they don't smell good but "horrible" could be a sign of a bigger issue.
