Answer
Hi Amanda,

I can't e-mail you back because you didn't give me your address. But I can help you with your problem. You need to feed your little one a higher quality cat food. Try feeding him Purina One. See how he does on that. A lot cat foods have fillers in them that cats aren't meant to eat and this causes them to have allergies or have gas like yours does. See how he does after a week or two with this. Good luck and let me know how he does.

Ciao, Karen
