Wheat Grass for the Cat

Tweet

My cats had a problem with stool, they were often constipated. I was getting wheat grass, the one you put in the water fountain so it grows, they loved it, but it wasn't enough for them. I bought them psyllium husk fiber, that helped, but I wanted something more natural for them. So I bought a roll of whet grass in the health store, they loved it, but in a few weeks it died. It took me a few days to find time to go back to that store and get it for them. When I got more grass, I placed it next to their food. I took a little bit of grass and brought it to one of my sleeping cats. I held it next to his nose, he woke up with wide opened eyes and gave a loud meow. I pulled back the grass and he followed my hand, I lead him to the patch of grass and there was something I loved seeing... He gave a loud cry and ran for the grass. He ate it so hungryly I couldn't help but to smile. The other two cats heard the meowing and came over to see what was going on. Once they saw the grass they ran to it and started eating. Now I plant wheat grass for them myself, so they always have it. Ever since I started giving them grass they got even healthier and no longer had a problem with constipation. They love their wheat grass so much that they guard it whenever someone gets near it. At first they were trying to catch water with their paws when I tried to water it. Nothing was allowed to touch their grass. I use wheat grass in some dishes that I make for myself as it is very healthy for people too, they watch me very carefully when I cut the grass, but they let me do it. I would highly recommend getting wheat grass for everyone who keeps their cats indoors, they can find grass outside and eat it, but if they are always at home, they can't.
