Can I give my cat ‘cat grass’?

Grass eating can help aid in your cat’s digestion, as well as assisting them in coughing up hairballs after grooming. If your cat eats grass on a regular basis, it may help to prevent the build-up of hairballs in their stomach. Indoor cats do not have access to grass growing outdoors, so growing cat grass at home will ensure they are still able to access some.

Grass seeds can be bought in a number of places – from garden centres to supermarkets, so they’re readily available and quite cheap to purchase too. Our video above shows you how to plant them, and when to give them to your cat.

Some cats will also enjoy rolling around in the grass so they may benefit from it being planted in larger containers and popped around the house.
