Answer 1

Could be an upset stomach or maybe she just likes grass or maybe it is just a craving.

Answer 2

Could be Cats do eat grass on occassion just like dogs and for the same reasons. the cat might need something the grass can give her for her pregnancy. Don't you worry she knows what she is doing and she will take care of herself and her kittens If you are really concerned you could take her to the vet but this is normal and unless there are someother alarming symptoms I would say just let the cat alone to do what she knows to do. Lucky you Kittens are so cute

Answer 3

Cats eat grass to help with a digestion problem. They are strictly carnivores and cannot digest the grass but it's believed they do it to add fiber to get hairballs to pass on through their system. The other thought on this is that it helps them to throw up hairballs.

If you prefer your cats stay strictly inside, you may want to purchase some 'cat grass' at the pet store and grow it in a window for your kitties. It's a soft, clean grass without cutting edges.

Answer 4

Grass is more then fine for cats. In fact many pet sections have little boxes of grass you can grow for indoor cats.
I bought one of the little grass boxes for my kitty since she keeps eating my house plants (I buy only non-toxic types for this reason). Kit-kit ignored them and continued to eat the house plants.
Cats also can and will eat other things like pumpkin pie filling and sweet corn (on the cob or no). Actually pumpkin pie filling helps make them "regular."

Answer 5

Because She Is Hungry. Grass Wont Hurt Her.

Answer 6

cats usually do that when they have an upset tummy. They eat the grass in turn the grass makes them throw up.

Answer 7

My cats eat grass and so do my dogs. It tastes sweet and does not harm them unless there are chemicals on the grass. I let my cats do it b/c it won't hurt them.

Answer 8

maybe shes a vegetarien my dog is a vegetarien she eats leftover vegetables foods while other hates it but i also have a cat who loves grass but not leftover foods and hes a BOY and my dog is a GIRL so theres nothing wrong bout that we have the both pets whos a vegetarian hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Answer 9

it is good for their digestion it's nothing to worry about, they now make indoor cat food that will help, you can buy just about any where and if you go to your local pet store they even sell grass just for cats! Good luck (my cat is pregnant too )
