We have observed cats eating grass before but never understood the reasons why they do that. And we caught Mr. Yellow having a grass feast the other day so we quickly took these shots. And of course, we are definitely going to clear our doubts on cats eating grass this time!

Well, from some researches, it turns out that there are a few reasons for cats to do that. It appears that grass has become some sort of laxative for cats to pass hairballs lodged in their intestines. Therefore, after a grass feast, the grass will make cats vomit up hairballs.

Mr. Yellow sensed that he has been spotted. A bit startled there.

Sometimes when cats feels sick, they eat grass too. This will make them vomit as well and get rid of the poisons in their bodies. Eating grass is also a way to relieve inflammation of their throats and stomach ache.

Nevertheless, it didn’t disturb his grass feast. Whew~~

Speaking about eating habits, grass eating is also to add roughage to the cats’ diets.

He has finished his grass feast of the day. He looked away as if he was waiting for the grass to do its job in his stomach.

Seemed like the elimination of hairballs has begun. He looked tensed.

“Back off…I need some air.”

Well, he did vomitted not long after that. Hope he is alright.
