🌿 Why Do Cats (and Dogs) Eat Grass?
When I first noticed my cat eating grass, I was really confused — I didn’t know that cats ate grass at all.
I had also seen some street dogs eating leaves from certain trees. That really surprised me, because I always thought cats and dogs only ate protein-based food like fish or meat.
After doing some research, I found out that cats and dogs eat grass or leaves to help clean their stomachs. Sometimes they have digestive issues, and this is a natural way to deworm themselves.
Yes, they eat grass for better digestion and to get rid of internal worms.
🌱 Want to Grow Cat Grass at Home?
If you want to grow grass at home for your cat, here’s a simple method:
- Collect some soil or cocopeat and paddy, barley, or wheat seeds.
- Soak the seeds overnight in water.
- In the morning, place the soaked seeds in a wet tissue and leave them there for 2 days.
- After 2 days, you’ll see the seeds have started to germinate.
- Transfer them to a pot filled with soil or cocopeat.
- Water twice a day.
- In 12–20 days, the grass will grow enough for your cat to eat.
That’s it — enjoy your home-grown cat grass!
