What is Cat Grass?
I am often asked What is cat grass? Our cat grass is our own unique mix of organic 4 types of grass, rye, barley, oat, and wheat. This combination is used to give your cat the best health benefits and taste.
Cat grass is not the same as the grass on your lawn. First, most lawns are not a combination of these grasses but more importantly, your lawn can contain pesticides and pollutants that are not healthy for your cat to eat.
Why should cats have cat grass?
Eating grass is a natural habit for any cat. They also enjoy rubbing and feeling the grass. Cats want the taste and feel of the outdoors.
Cat grass will give your indoor cat a natural supply of much-needed Folic Acid, along with vitamins A and D. These are important nutrients that aid in overall digestion and hairball control.
There is also evidence that the chlorophyll in grass helps contribute to overall cat health. Chlorophyll was used as a natural antibiotic before medical antibiotics became available. This is according to PetMD
Will my cat throw up cat grass?
Your cat normally will not throw up cat grass. Cats use the nutrients in cat grass to improve their digestion. However, if they do throw up it is a sure sign that they have a large hairball that they need to get rid of. Cat grass will help remove hairballs which include helping to digest them and throwing up the larger ones. Once they have a nicely balanced digestion system your cat should not have any large hairballs.
How to keep cats away from my houseplants?
Cat grass is a great deterrent to keep cats away from your houseplants. When you give your cat their plant to satisfy their need for nature they will leave your other plants alone. They like the taste and feel of cat grass much more than the taste of spider plants!
