If you fart, do you gain weight or lose weight?

ie, is the air (define as you will) inside you making you bouyant which would mean that getting rid of it will make you weigh more? Or is that air made of measurable mass and getting rid of it will lighten you up?

I ask because last night one of the cats bombed us in a brutal and heinous way.

Lordy lordy lordy.

after skimming this plethora of information (http://www.heptune.com/farts.html), I still don't have an answer for you.

Getting even for that gluten-free abomination you tried to make them eat......

I say the cat would weight less, only a very small fraction but gas has weight. To prove that it has weight you could push a cork into your cat's butt and see if it eventually rises - lighter than air gas or stays on the ground - heavier than air gas.
