Eating grass
« on: June 12, 2018, 10:47:02 PM »

Why do my cats, some of them any way, eat grass? Does it make them puke afterwards? Caoimhe is puking up most days and going out and eating grass. I asked Janet about putting some hairball remedy gel stuff on her paws.

When I had cats it was my understanding that eating grass was a self-treatment for vomiting, not a cause.

As eric implied they frequently do so as a health benefit to rid indigestible foods from the stomach (ie furballs) and aid healthy digestion

I did a little bit of research a few years back on cat grass when Ziggy started with pancreatitis and was frequently vomiting.
An article I read suggested Oat grass was a healthier option for cats rather than the standard rye, and actually good for cats with IBD.     For the past few years I've purchased several times from this supplier here.   

Both my cats love cat grass, but this was by far the best grass seeds I have ever bought and even friends have bought upon my recommendation.    Unfortunately they are out of stock right now..  which is a shame as I was going to get more of it just last weekend.       

If it's not back in stock soon I may try this one.    The pack size is slightly smaller but because I've had some rubbish results in the past with other suppliers I'm hesitant of buying a large pack just yet. Don't buy Trixie - its carp and a waste of money.
