How Does THAT Work? Digestion!
So I been THINKING real hard about something.... if you are SQUEAMISH you might not want to read this one. Even though it is part of NATURE. I was WONDERING, how does FOOD turn from delicious goodness into STINKY brown stuff? This took a LOT of thought, but I FIGURED it out!
This is a DEMONSTRATION cat. In case you did not RECOGNIZE me, the DEMO cat is ME! Harley Quinn!Anyway, the RED part is my INNARDS. The FOOD goes down the THROAT into the BIG ROUND stomach. Finally, before it turns into POOPS along the way, it goes through the STINK ORGAN. This turns the foods BROWN and adds a bad SMELL to it. This is WHY you want to GET RID of the food by POOPING it out - because it is no longer any GOOD!
It is hard to believe, but TRUE. Science is INTERESTING that way.
83 Notes for Daisy:
So it must be that some kittehs have a more potent stink organ than others. Bigger kittehs = bigger stink organ = more stink. At our house, Sabby is the biggest, even bigger than you, Harley, he is almost 20 pounds! And his poop is the stinkiest of them all. Therefore, does it go to say that your poop is stinkier than Daisy's? Since Daisy is smaller, she doesn't have as big of a stink organ as you do, right?
Thank you Harley. I always wondered about that and now I know!
Hurray for Harley!
Harley you are real smart to know that, I always wondered how that happened and now I know - thanks!

So when you see a kitty that is a little on the fat side, does that mean that maybe their stink organ isn't working?
I liked your visual aid, Harley! Good teachers always use visual aids and you are a very good teacher!
Nicky's stink organ is HUGE! thanks for the informashun Harley! that was furry inneresting
If that is the case we think that Gracie has an extra ginorous Stink Organ!
Harley, do you s'pose that is why digesting and disgusting are kinda almost the same word?
MOL~!!! That's a great way to think of it. We think Cricket's Stink Organ is the size OF her innards!
That explains a lot, Harley. I love your scientific diagram, and your eyeys!
Harley, you are so smart! Wowsie...how did you get a picture of your insides like that??? MOL
Harley... you make a good demo cat. thanks for the explanation.
Have a great day.
Excellent diagram, Harley! We're very impressed with your teaching.
P.S. Our human thought that cats on raw didn't have much of a stink organ. (A co-worker who feeds raw told her that, but maybe it depends on the cat or what kind of protein?)
How did you get to be so smart, Harley???
Your pal, Pip
Wowza Harley you iz so smart, I nevar did know abowt teh stink organ but now i unnerstand teh hole thing!
We did not know that kitties had a stink organ. That certainly explains Lishy! MOL!
Hobbes has an extra large stink organ.
Mum says I must have a giant stink organ :)
Woof! Woof! You are definitely correct Daisy. Thanks for sharing. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
oh now i get it! thanks harley!
smiles, auntie bee
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Oh now that was really interesting, you sure do know lots of stuff! My Mummy says she thinks boy cats have bigger stink organs than girly cats, cause Tigs and I can make way more stink than them! ;) However we can't make cute kittens like Isis did at breakfast time on Tuesday... Boy do they smell interesting! :)
Purrs,
Ramses
This is a verygood analysis.
Now we know how something so yummy can turn into something so smelly!
bonks you are a genius
Thank you for the educational diagram Harley - it was not the best time for us to look at it though cos mum was eating her lunch!! ha ha !!
Please thank Daisy for her kind message yesterday.
Luv Hannah xx
Yoo are so smart, Harley!!! Mom's friend always said my poops smelled so bad because mom spoiled me rotten!!! MOL! Now we know the truth!
Yoo and Daisy have a great day!
Sable the Punk(at Clarissa & Co)
p.s.
my sisfur, Daisy, wants to say hello to yoor sisfur, Daisy!
Haha, now I know how my yummy processed, thanks a quick biology mini course.
Cheers!
now explain why didn't god make that the rose smelling organ rather than the stink organ...
Thank you for explaining that so clearly, Harley. I am a dog, but I think it works the same in us. Maggie the Vizsla
Oh Harley, that is such a good lesson on the stink organ. We love how you showed us with a little map. Good job.
Have a great day.
My husband must have a very large stink organ because he is stinky. I was always wondering. Thank you Harley!
Harley...you da MANCAT! A scientist..who KNEW! I love the lecture and the artwork is superb!
Please plan another,.we are all ears..er..eyes.
Fascinating! We hope you do a post about hairballs next!
this is a very scientific investigation, Harley.
Now i know how it works :)
Now that is the most interesting explanation we've ever heard. Good detecting, Harley!
It's good to address delicate issues, Harley! Thanks for elucidating that for us!
Thank you for that very scientific explanation, Harley. That explains why Max's bombs make Mom's eyes water. He has a very large Stink Organ.
You are such a silly character, Harley; thanks for the science lesson, we don't have to wonder about that anymore!...kisses and hugs adorable boy...Calle, Halle, Sukki
Thanks for sharing that information, Harley! I especially liked the demonstration cat :)
Wow! A stink organ! Mine must not work very well, and Orion's works overtime!
Junior
This was very informative, Harley! You are one smart kittie!
Harley, I never knew this until today. Thanks for the stinky post :)
So funny!
It makes perfect sense when you fink about in. Food in. Goodness extracted, then left overs given bad smell and pooped out. Cheers Harley !
hubby has a stink organ, too! hahahahahahahahahahaha! but then he also says I've got one as well...
:-)
wow! i never knew, but it certainly makes sense. i wonder if there is an operation that can remove the stinky adding thingy. some doctor would be very rich if they figured this out.
hugs,
puglette
:o)
Harley, what would we do without you explaining all these things - but you missed three stomachs!
Goat have 4 stomachs you know!
Wow, that explains it all, Harley!! God job. Let's not forget the last step of leaving the Kitty Roca in the sandbox. And covering up carefully. Key step.
Wow Harley, you're like a scientist-cat. It would be good to get a research grant (treats) for further study on your theories.
Wow Harley thanks for telling us that - we used to think it was just magic or something but we are glad to know that is really is science and stuff!
Hey, do you think you could maybe try and figure out the telephone some time and explain it? WE don't get how it works at all - we know it can't be like the TELEVISION but it kind of sounds like TELEVISON, and you explained everything so well on the television and eveerything else (we even went back to read about babies when we got our new brother and sister - we think it has to be the same with kittens and babies - oh but if not let us know please) and we know you will be able to figure it out!!
Oh we also had to tell you that you are one of our Friday Friends - we know you have a ton of visitors already but we still wanted to have you!
I do not like the stink organ!
Sherlock Harley sandy
Harley, you are brilliant, so smart to figure it out.
Harley, you are brilliant to figure it out!
Thanks for the info!
That Demo Cat is great!
Daisy have you been to the Cat's Eye blog? Theo, Diego San & Thompson's dad bought them a nip nanner in Pixie's honor. there's a video!
you are to smart for your own fur
Benny & Lily
Harley, you're a pretty smart kitty.
That is so true! U are a good scientist, Harley. I has a learn. :)
Hmm, da new food musta shrunk Sadie's stink organ cuz she don't clear da room anymore. Now dat was some intristing stuff!
Golly, Harley! You are pretty darn smart to 'splain why Charmee is so stinky like that! I, of course, smell of vanilla an' Cheetos!
DMM
So that's how poop is made!! Thanks for letting us know, Harley!
Harley
We would have never known this if you hadn't explained it all to us!
Science is interesting.

I think Alice has an extra stink organ...she has TWO! We think explaining hairballs would be great! You're so smart Harley.
Thank you Harley for explaining that too us. We wondered why our delicious food went stinky like that.
I didn't know we all had a stink organ! That's probably why Bouncie used to stink up the place.
Harley, we must be defective! We only poop roses and rainbows.
No, really!
Yep Harley! I think you are on to something!
Anna
Anna's Y-words
Wowww.... now you solve our question!!!!
Oh Harley! Are you sure this the way it work? Is very interesting. Thank you fur splaining this to us.
I must say, Harley, I certainly appreciate your graphical elucidation of the workings of our innards..now I can PROVE that I don't do it ON PURPOSE!
You are very, very smart, Harley, in addition to being so handsome. I learn a lot from you. What a stud.
Not all stink organs are created equal. I, Angel, must have a very small one cause mp Poop does not stink, But brother Mac! Whew!
Harley, do sum cats have more than one stink organ? Cuz I think I have abowt eleventy of them. I'd be willing to donate sum of them to cats (like Daisy) hoo were born withowt stink organs.
Sinseerly,
Skeezix the Cat
Wow! That is really interesting stuffs about our insides!
Harley, we fink yoo shud become a Professor.
Harley, you are so clever! Mummy says our stink organs all work differently and she can tell our poopies apart even if she doesn't actually SEE us do them...
well, hiyas there, harley!
miss amy and her kitties sent us over to visit, and i gotta say, you are way full of the smarticles for a kitty! thanks for the informational on digestion! does it work the same way for doggies? cuz, boy howdy, does my big sis asa make some stinky poopers. egads!
*woof*
the booker man
Wow! A scientist in our midst! Thanks for the clear lesson on digestion...you made the whole concept to...well...easy to digest! Amy and The House of Cats sent me over to say "hi!" Visit me if you get the chance.
That is AMAZIN Harley! We will haf ta ask TBT if we can have a stinkerectomy operatshun...
Ooh, we meant ta add: Thanks fer the CAT scan of yer innards! That helped us unnerstand much better...
Wow ! after this scientific explanation, I feel like a savant ! No I finally know why poop stinks, hahaha !
Harley, you are one smart dude. We've always wondered how digestion works!
Harley, thank you for explainifying that to us! We think that The Itteh Bitteh Foster Kittehs must have VERY LARGE stink organs.
Extremely LARGE.

Ahhh, the STINK organ! That explains a lot. Do you think it's possible for a cat's stink organ to be on the outside? Because Pru's butt just never stops stinking.
