Lenny the farting cat - returned to the animal shelter for his excessive flatulence
WE have all heard of the cat that got the cream, but Lenny seems to be the cat that ate the beans.
He farts all the time
The unfortunate black and white feline has been returned to the animal shelter because he suffers from excessive flatulence.
The windy moggy was rescued from a New York park in February and nursed back to health at Scottsville Veterinary Hospital and Pet Adoptions in Washington
He was snapped up as a perfect pet last month, but was returned after just two-days for causing a stink in the family home.
The intake papers filled in by his gassed out owners said: "he farts all the time."
His short-time custodians suggested the frequency and duration of Lenny's emissions might make him much better suited for an outdoor life.
But staff at the shelter say they fortunately haven't yet had been exposed to his embarrassing issue.
Jessica Giehl, Scottsville's adoptions director said: "Since he's been back here, there haven't been any problems.
"Clean living and a healthy diet may be the reason for that, but we did still nickname him 'Smelly Cat.'"
A post appeared on the centre's Facebook page from Lenny which read: "Hello! I was returned today because I fart too much.
"I am hoping I can find a person who can love me even with my stinky farts.
"I am a 19 month old neutered male and would love to be your smelly cuddle cat.
"I am very friendly and love to be petted and held.
I even am wearing a tuxedo so I'll look snazzy if you come to see me.
