Why Do Cats Eat Grass?

in cats •  8 years ago 

Thank you for sharing, but I must STRONGLY suggest you research the feline diet and stop feeding your cat commercial dry food (Purina, e.g.). Cats require a raw meat and bones diet; there are many resources online about this. One of the reasons your cat is eating grass like a fiend is because she is undernourished. She may still like grass, but her gut is - trust me - not healthy on Purina or other commercial food products. Look up BARF, it stands for Bones and Raw Food - for dogs and cats there are specific NATURAL diets. Cats, even more than dogs, need raw foods. Look at the ingredients in the bag of what is considered a 'good food'. It is not. What is the main ingredient? Corn? Flour? chicken 'by products'? These are NOT healthy foods for a cat. Please, I am glad your cat is healthy now, but for her long-term health please research. You may find it is less expensive. You will also find that the pet food manufacturers and most veterinarians (who make a lot of money selling commercial foods) will tell you not to feed your animals raw meat. They are simply wrong. Think about it ............
In the wild (and cats are not that long domesticated to have changed their gut), cats do not cook their food or eat tortillas or corn on the cob, or meat 'by products'. They eat the organs and muscle meat of small animals. You can replicate this. Chicken necks (always raw) are excellent for their teeth as well. I raised Abyssinians and they never had a problem with their teeth and their health was excellent on a diet of raw meat and bones. There is an excellent yahoogroup on this ... https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/rawpaws/info
Please, I love cats, and at every opportunity, yes, I do do this and recommend pet owners read up on natural alternatives to what the pet food industry is pushing as 'good food'.
May you and your kitties enjoy a long and healthy life together.
