We have been
taking care of a colony of outdoor cats for a long time and in that time, we
have observed the cats eating grass. The
cats do not eat any type of grass they seem to know what grass is best. After they consume the grass the cats’ vomit
so I assumed the grass was to cure stomach upset.

On other
occasions the outdoor cats will eat grass and they do not vomit. My veterinarian told me that grass is high in
fiber and that it can help the cats with digestion and constipation.
In addition to
high fiber content, grass also contains folic acid. Without enough folic acid, cats can develop
anemia and a lack of oxygen.

| cat grass I grew my cat likes it |
When I learned
this I decided to grow grass for my indoor cats so I bought the grass seed
package and planter that was being sold at Pet Smart and Amazon. What I noticed is that my cats really like
grass. They seem to like the taste. I like the grass because the chlorophyll in
the grass helps to keep their breath fresh.

If you have
indoor cats then its best to grow grass for them. Its not wise to just let your cat outdoors to
grass in your neighborhood because many lawns are treated with chemicals,
pesticides, weed killers and those chemicals will hurt your cat.
