Kitty Cows

While my son and his fiancée have two cats that like to graze like cows on the lawn, we have the same thing going on with Doodles, the cat.
I don't like it one bit! He eats grass too fast, always going for the longest blades. He gags and drools, then vomits. Thank goodness he does this while outside, although it has happened once or twice in the house. Ugh!
But Doodles usually listens to Grammy! We had our final lawn application a few days ago. Even though we use an all natural company, I don't want Doodles to walk on the lawn or eat the grass after an application or treatment. He hasn't set foot on any grass since Monday.
Today I told him it was okay, but he didn't listen!

My dog use to do something similar and it was not a pleasant thing to look at but he felt it necessary to do it.

@rebelann Do they regularly eat grass are only when they want to throw up on occasion?

@1hopefulman Doodles eats grass whenever his fat belly is upset. Sometimes he throws up, other times he doesn’t.

Trying for the third time to say something here, so if all three eventually pop up, sorry. Just wanted to say my doggy, Daisy, also eats grass with the same icky results. I hope Doodles decided that munching on grass is no longer appealing to him, Dianne. :)

I think this is how they do a cat cleanse.

@DianneN So all we have to do is eat veg to do it for ourselves. Mother Nature is cool.

I wonder if he had a sour stomach. I noticed whenever my dogs ate grass it was because they had a sour stomach and throwing it up afterwards really helped get it straightened out, and they were fine afterwards.
Your picture is sideways.

They didn't eat it often but I've seen all my pets eat some grass or greens @DianneN in fact when I buy canned cat food I've read some of the ingredients which include things like peas. Also, if you go to pet stores, they usually carry small containers of wheat grass, cats love to nibble it.

My cat stays indoors, but from time to time, I offer him a bit of greenery from outside. Fortunately, he has never thrown it up. This cat has good digestion he has vomited less than any other cat I have had.

My dogs eat grass too, I always thought it was to settle their stomach.

I always thought cats ate grass when they don't feel good because it makes them toss the cookies. I looked it up and they do have a reason to eat grass.... We don'[t have cats now but when we did, they spent a lot of time outside and thankfully left their vomit outside.
