Re: grass

Hi there!

Cats chew on grass to help aid and balance their digestion. It's completely normal. The only problem is that on the absence of grass they'll chew on other plants instead. This means you have to be careful as some house plants are poisonous.

You can even buy cat grass kits from pets shops. It's really easy to grow too! xx

I bought tubs of kitty grass but mine wouldnt touch it, so i resorted to pulling up some of next doors grass and putting that in a container - Baxter gobbled it down. He's also eating dried leave and twigs!!!

lol I also bought those tubs of grass that you grow when my kitty was an indoor cat but he never touched it! He does nibble on some grass from time to time.

Re: grass

Mai Tai likes to eat the grass when she's out on her lead but she's very choosy about which grass she likes The front lawn is the nicest or some odd blades of long grass that sneak up in between the slabs on the patio

Re: grass

he might have eaten something that disagreed with him but a trip to the vets is definitely the best thing just to be sure. good luck and hope Sheldon is ok
