Why Do Cats Eat Grass?


There are many behaviors that our cats exhibit that often leave us wondering why it is they do what they do. One of the most common behaviours cats exhibit is eating grass. You may be concerned wondering if they they are sick, hungry, or perhaps just bored and doing it to keep themselves busy. You may have also noticed that they could be eating tis grass only to throw it up a while later, raising even more questions and concerns.  

While there is no general consensus on why cats eat grass one of the most accepted theories on this is that cats do this as part of a passed down animalistic instinct. In the wild, wild cats often eat grass and hunt down animals that eat grass so it has been part of their diet for thousands of years. Even though this is a trait passed down for thousands of years when your cats starts eating grass regularly it can often be the sign of something worse.
Not All Grass Is Created Equal
It is also believed that cats may eat grass when they are not getting enough nutrients into their body, or it could be do to a hunger that they are not able to satisfy. However eating grass can be beneficial to your cats, as cats do not have the enzymes required to properly digest grass they will throw it up. When your cat throws up it also takes with it furr, bones, feathers and parasites that are wreaking havoc on your cats digestive system. 

You should however be concerned about the type of grass that your cat is eating very often the types of grass your cat is eating can be laced with harmful chemicals. Most cats are raised in a developed setting where they are susceptible to harmful fertilizers, and pesticides in the grass. 

These fertilizers and pesticides can cause serious health complications or even death. Make sure you do not use any chemicals or fertilizers on your grass so your cat does not have to come in contact, or eat any grass with these dangerous chemicals on them. 
Helping Your Cat With Grass Eating Tendencies
While eating grass can be beneficial to your cat such as offering laxative properties, or helping clear out unwanted parasites or foreign objects in there stomach, there are alternatives. 

One healthy alternative to letting your cats graze out in the world where the grass could be toxic is to offer them cat grass. Cat grass is a grass that can be bought at almost any pet store that is easier on your cats stomach but offers the same effects that cats often seek when eating grass in the world.

While these ar options the best way to help your cat is to tackle the root problem of their behaviour. when cats are eating grass they are often suffering from a upset stomach, this is where a great daily supplement can come into help. Many cat owners are giving there cat a herbal natural remedy that will help calm their stomach and offer safe digestion for them well into the future.


Heres How Our Products Helped Lilly!
I really owe Prana Pets, my Lilly has a very sensitive stomach ( I believe she suffers from IBD ) and no matter how hard I try to stop it she is out in the yard eating grass and God knows what else. Accidents in the Car and house were frequent and not to mention the stomach aches she suffers from! I was skeptical at first but it seems to be working wonders. Lilly has not had any issue since!
