A cat eats grass because it help them well puke..its usually when they have something in their stomach that has to come out right away. And cats know that. Almost like a cow...they keep their food in their stomach and then cough it bak up. and then eat it again. They call it for cows chewing their cud. But a cat(when he is sick) will usually want outside, and when they get out they eat somegrass and the grass helps the stuff come bak up...dogs do it 2...

Cats unlike dogs eat grass becasue it just a good part of their diet. Dogs eat it to help with their upset stomach to induce vomiting. Cats will eat it a lil throughout the day as part of their daily diet. Not only because they are sick. If you look in the cat food aisle at the store they now sell cat food that has those same nutrients for cat that stay indoors. Its just something that animals need.

Dont you like salad? think of being the cat... interior for all time eating fish and dry fish and seafood vittles and greater vittles... yet in no way the rest. Canned tuna and in spite of the fact that else you supply him. Cats decide for to consume the grass. possibly he's in decide for of a few thing interior the grass. I wont injury him. My sister has a cat that does a similar situation... basically he will consume it and then puke it back up whilst he comes interior. it is so so so so annoying! i think undesirable for the cat... yet he seems to be ok. Your cat prolly enjoys it. no rely if it is early morning or previous due nighttime... then he's prolly enjoying the water it is beaded on the grass... no rely if it is interior the warmth of the day, i'm to uncertain why he would be doing it. possibly he's conscious greater approximately eating backyard then we do!

Commercial cat food has been cooked and processed so the enzymes are dead. Cats need fresh, raw food just like humans. In nature they eat raw meat and green plants. Try avocado, wheatgrass, or sprinkle dried catnip on their food. I also recommend nutritional yeast (available at health food stores). Also, healthy cats are less attractive to fleas.
Watch out for pesticides on the grass- not good for kitty!

Kitties love to eat greens as it aids with their digestion. A lot of times you will notice (if you are paying attention) that right after they finish eating grass, they will go off and hack up a huge hair ball. The greens are good for them...don't stop them from doing it.

They use grass as cure for some illness. All animals do it. Don't worry, your cat won't eat any harmful grass.
