Cat's Stomach Making Noises: Other Signs to Look Out For Meanwhile, others will only produce these sounds when they're obviously experiencing discomfort or displaying clinical signs of a potential condition. However, some cats have louder digestive sounds than others - sounds that typically occur within an hour or two after a meal. Either way, gas is a normal participant in the digestive process. Gases are always present in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, either because they're ingested at mealtime (along with food) or because they're created by the teeming of bacteria as they work to help digest nutrients delivered by the food. Picture what's happening as pockets of gas getting 'popped' as they're continually squeezed by the almost rhythmic forward propulsion of ingested food. The grumbling, gurgling sound that a feline stomach makes is called borborygmus, which is the term for the bubbly sound gasses make as they're pushing their way through the stomach and the intestines. Breaking Down Why My Cat's Stomach Gurgles Is your cat's stomach making noises? Read on to learn what may be causing it and when to reach out to your veterinarian. Although typically unrelated to more serious health disturbances, it's always worth investigating these sounds to determine whether they're a sign of something more. In most cases, when a cat's stomach is making noises, it's the result of simple digestive movement.
