My cat has gas after eating. Is his multi-flavor food the problem?

Question

My cat has been having a lot of gas after he eats. I was just wondering what could be causing this. I have found that he can eat cat food that is chicken flavored but I was feeding him cat food that had two or more flavors in it. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

Typically gas can be caused by the type of food. Every animal handles food differently, so if an animal does well with one food another animal may not do well with that same food. I would recommend sticking with one flavor. You can gradually wean onto a flavor and see if he does well with that. If he doesn't then I would wean onto a different one. If he has diarrhea or soft stools also I would recommend taking Zeus to a veterinarian and let them run a stool sample. They can also dispense medication to help with his stool.
