Why Do Cats Eat Grass?

Have you ever seen your cat eat grass? Does your indoor cat eat your houseplants? Maybe you’ve seen your cat eat grass and throw up afterward. Maybe you worry this makes your cat sick.

It’s normal for cats to eat grass. It won’t make them sick unless you use fertilizers and pesticides on your lawn. These can harm and even kill a cat. Cats eat grass for a number of reasons. Here are just a few:

Cats eat grass to help them vomit up hairballs
Cats eat grass to help relieve a stomach ache.
Cats eat grass to add roughage to their diet
Cats eat grass to relieve an inflamed throat
Cats eat grass to enable them to pass hairballs
Cats eat grass for folic acid, a necessary nutrient

Outdoor cats have ready access to grass when needed, but an indoor cat will probably nibble on your houseplants. Many houseplants are harmful, and even fatal to cats. One way to avoid this is to provide your cat with a ready supply of fresh cat grass.

Kittys Garden comes with four grasses most cats love. Organic oats, barley, wheat, and rye in a sturdy planter. Just plant and add water.

Kitty’s Garden comes with a nice inexpensive Refill Kit. Just place in the planter, add water, and in a few days your cat will have more grass to munch on. Keep your cat healthy the safe fun way.

Another way to keep your cat happy and healthy is to provide fresh catnip indoors. Cat Nip Plus comes with it’s own container. Just plant, and add water. In a few days your cat will be having the time of it’s life.

If you have a garden you can plant Organic Catnip Herb Seeds. Your outdoor cat, and all the neighborhood cats, will love you for it.
