Once outside, a domestic cat will never miss an opportunity to nibble on grass.

We explain why cats enjoy this activity so much.

Why do cats like to eat grass

Firstly, by eating grass, cats compensate for the lack of vitamins.

The grass contains a large amount of vitamin B9 (folic acid), which increases the level of oxygen in the blood and promotes animal growth.

Secondly, eating grass helps to normalize digestion.

It is important to know that eating contaminated grass from the street can cause intoxication in your cat.

Therefore, it is better to buy special grass for your pet in a pet store or grow it yourself.
