Cats eat grass
Cat's teeth The organization shows that cats do not know how to eat fast, and they are truly carnivorous animals. However, sometimes we find that cats will bite some animals quietly, and in serious cases, they may even destroy potted plants at home. At this time, we have to pay attention to the cat and find out why the cat is eating animals, so as to prescribe the right medicine to let the cat and the animals at home get along harmoniously.
The common reasons why cats eat grass are the following points:
1. Gastric hairball syndrome. Cats often swallow their fur during their normal licking process. If there are too many hair balls in the stomach, it will cause a loss of appetite and even cause vomiting and coughing. Therefore, at this time, the cat will subconsciously look for some grass. Eat, grass is rich in cellulose and can be used as an effective vomiting agent, because the fluff on the grass leaves can adhere to the cilia of the digestive tract to induce vomiting. Therefore, at this time, instead of letting the cat find grass to eat by itself, it is better for our owners to feed it ourselves and prevent the cat from eating poisonous plants.
2. It still has the effect of inducing vomiting. However, if the cat eats grass very quickly, it is possible that it has accidentally eaten something poisonous or has difficulty digesting it, causing gastrointestinal discomfort. I want to induce vomiting as much as possible to make myself feel better. Therefore, at this time, the owner should take it to the doctor for a check-up. If he really eats something that makes him feel uncomfortable, he should try to adjust it as much as possible.
3. Obtain the necessary nutrient - folic acid. Studies have shown that cats sometimes eat grass to absorb the folic acid content contained in the juice of leaves and stems. This needs to be improved from the food, so that the cat can obtain all the nutrients needed for growth in the food.
4. Deworming. If you observe a lot of bugs in the cat’s vomit, the cat is eating grass because there are parasites hidden in its stomach. I want to eat grass to change the pH value of gastric juice to repel insects. What the owner has to do at this time is to buy anthelmintics.
