What is Cat Grass?
Cats love to snack on grass! Take a cat outside during the summer and the cat
will instinctively be drawn to sampling the lawn grass. However, because lawn
grass is usually treated with pesticides and other lawn chemicals, it is not
always safe for our kitties to eat it. Lawn grass also does not have the same
nutritional value as oat grass or wheat grass. Lawn grass has a tendency to
"stick" in the back of your cat's throat which can cause gagging. Your cat may
also turn to your houseplant to satisfy their grass cravings. Not a good idea
since a lot of houseplants are usually poisonous! Providing fresh green oat grass
or wheat grass will satisfy your kitty's craving for fresh green "living" food in
their diet.
Oat grass and wheat grass are cereal grasses. The oat grass is widely
cultivated for its edible seeds. Our popular breakfast oat cereals and wheat
cereals are made from the seeds of these plants! The wheat grass is also widely
cultivated for its commercially important grain. Athletes and other health
conscious people have made juicing the wheat grass very popular. They drink
the wheat juice for its high concentrated levels of vitamins and minerals. The
vitamins and minerals in the grass improve your cat's overall health.
When the oat seed or wheat seed is planted it produces beautiful, healthy green
blades rich in chlorophyll (a natural breath freshener), anti-oxidants (helps fight
cancer), vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Both the wheat grass and oat grass
aid in a healthy digestion, and help move hairballs along. Instead of coughing
up the hairball, the hairball is more likely to be passed through your cat's
digestive system. The grass also provides a great source of fiber (ruffage) in
your cat's diet. Another added benefit is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a natural
substance that makes grass green and acts as a natural breath freshener. The cat
oat grass and wheat grass taste great! I've personally tasted both of the raw
blades and it is actually quite delicious!
All cats, especially indoor (urban) cats, need some green in their diet.
I know that since I started giving my cats a choice of wheat and oat grass they
have never been happier. I have a pot of grass growing by the window and as
they look outside they instinctively chew on their grass. They have less
hairballs, their breath smells sweeter, and they look healthier!
