Why has my cat started eating grass?

[Eddie the Seagull]

And then puking it up?

Any ideas anyone? He is 13 years old.

He will be trying to get rid of furballs. Quite common and nothing to worry about.

BoF the VET? My dog does this a lot, he's almost 13 too, but he doesnt get fur balls though. What's your diagnosis?!!

Tank has eaten all the food in the house and all that is left for the starving mongrel is to graze at grass.

I am on the phone to the RSPCA at this very minute!


Ps How do you know he doesn't get fur balls?

I've done a search & BoF is correct about furballs. Grass also contains folic acid which is good for the blood, apparently?

 

[Rookie]

mine do it, just wish they would stop running in and puking on the kitchen floor and then doing a runner again

Ours too, our vet told us as long as our dog is in good health and the lawn has no mushrooms or weedkiller etc on it, it's not a problem.

My dog insists on a diet of mushrooms and grass. He is a happy dog.

 

[sunshine]

My cats always do it, its a kind of medicine for them apparently.

Maybe that's how cats celebrate their 13th birthday

BTW, how do cats and dogs know that eating grass will be good for theM?

Natural for cats to eat grass, my pure white cat just brought in a large moth.
