Owners shouldn’t be too surprised about why cats strangely eat grass; this is a normal phenomenon. Sometimes excessive eating can cause stomach discomfort in cats. When a cat's stomach is inflamed, bloated, or filled with rotten matter, the cat will rely on eating grass to stimulate vomiting, empty the stomach contents, and relieve the discomfort. We all know that cats naturally like to lick their fur, and fur can easily be swallowed into their stomachs. Over time, the fur forms hairballs inside the cat. When the amount increases, it can easily cause intestinal blockage. At this point, cats eat grass to help induce vomiting of hairballs.
Cats don’t just randomly eat any weeds; they naturally distinguish which are cat grass and which will help themselves. After eating grass, cats benefit by enhancing immunity, relaxing their nerves, and aiding in digestion and absorption. Cats might have underlying health issues; plants and grass are rich in fiber and chlorophyll, helping to prevent various diseases and promoting the cat’s health. Eating grass is also a way for cats to relieve pressure on their stomach, regulate digestive discomfort, and make themselves feel better. Cats are quite smart.
In summary, cats eating grass is a remarkable phenomenon. Cats also pay great attention to their own health. Owners should take good care of their cats. Cats not only bring joy to our lives but sometimes show very warm actions. If we love them a little more, they will give us a lot of love in return. Regarding the behavior of cats eating grass, owners should not forcibly stop them to avoid causing further discomfort due to incorrect interference.
