Many housewives are faced with the fact that their pets pay too much attention to their indoor plants.
As a result, this has a negative impact on the condition of the flowers.
It is also worth considering that in most cases plants can be toxic to cats.
Why do animals like to eat flowers
Lack of vitamins
Many cats do not get enough vitamins and minerals from their food because owners buy low-quality food and ignore specially developed complexes for pets.
The cat believes that with the help of plants it can compensate for the imbalance in the body. Therefore, it is worth reconsidering your approach to organizing the animal's nutrition.
Strange taste preferences
Despite the fact that plants can be poisonous, a cat may well like their taste. Therefore, it is worth buying a special grass for animals for your pet, which the pet will eat with pleasure without harm to health.
The plant is sold in many veterinary stores.
Curiosity and attention deficit
Experts believe that a cat may eat plants out of curiosity, as animals are too interested in everything that is happening.
Also, don't forget that cats sometimes need attention too. If the owner doesn't play with the pet and doesn't pay enough attention, the animal may eat flowers.
