Cats are obligate carnivores, and their biological characteristics are mainly dietary, so why do cats sometimes eat grass? Interested friends can come and learn about it.

1. Cats with pica graze may suffer from pica , mostly due to lack of trace elements in their bodies. In addition to eating grass, cats with pica will also eat other things randomly, such as garbage bags, licking wall skins, eating cat litter, etc. If you find that this happens to the cat, you must stop it in time to avoid accidents after accidentally eating. Add trace element powder or granules to the cat's daily food, and long-term feeding is required to see the effect. If you are a young cat, you can usually feed your cat nutritional cream, goat milk powder and other nutritional supplements containing trace elements.

2. Stimulating vomiting, grass is rich in cellulose, which can promote gastrointestinal motility. Therefore, cats will also stimulate vomiting by eating grass and promote the excretion of hairballs. If the owner wants the cat to excrete the hair balls in the body but does not want the cat to vomit, you can also feed the cat some hair cream to lubricate the cat's gastrointestinal wall and promote the excretion of hair through feces.

3. Curious

Cats are very curious animals. If there are more flowers and plants planted at home, then cats will like to bite grass and flowers when they are at home. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner should not raise plants such as green ivy, spider plant, daffodils, etc. after raising the cat, because these plants are poisonous to the cat. It is recommended that the cats be planted with some cat grass.
