    Eating grass often occurs when the cat needs to clean out its stomach by vomiting (maybe to get rid of furballs!). If your cat does not have access to grass, house plants or anything similiar will be used by your cat. Vomiting will occur soon after the cat has eaten grass. It has been said that cats eat grass to obtain "Folic Acid", something that cats need in minute quantities for its well-being. "Folic Acid" cannot be obtained from meat.

    That cat is testing your love for it. That cat is really wise. next time the cat eats grass whoop the cat. Also try to feed the cat good cat food becuase it seems the cat is suffering from malnutrition. If not send it to the shelter. Damm! haw can a cat be eating grass, cats are carnivores not herbivores. Please feed the cat some good food. You are responsible for that cat. Also it coul be that the grass contains sugar. Or a diabetic peed on the grass.

    they will eat grass if they have an upset tummy so ur cat may need to pass a hairball and eating grass helps them bring up what needs to be brought up even dogs do it to

    That can sometimes mean they do not feel well, when they eat grass it causes them to throw up. Then, whatever was making them feel bad inside of them is out.

    ingesting grass in lots of cases motives them to vomit, neutralized abdomen acids, the rolling interior the dirt is in simple terms exciting. you preserve vacuuming up each and all the dirt and dirt interior the abode, so because it somewhat is play and feels solid. supplies the back a solid scratch. they are chuffed cats.
