Snack Time

I took Gus outside today and on his way to the beach he ate a bunch of grass on the edge of our property. He seems to really enjoy it... for a few minutes. Until he throws it up!! Silly Cat!

Nice photo of him, lovely light

Don't cats do this on purpose to empty their stomach of any digestive irritants?

Go Gus go!

@kjarn Cats eat grass to help their digestive system. Sometimes it works as a laxative and other times it helps them throw up to get rid of fur balls.

Babs is right, Minky does this all the time, but never throws up. All our previous cats used to throw up.

Well captured Gus and outside is best for the after effects of the grass.

Cats throwup because they lack the proper enzymes to digest grass. Cats who eat grass will then vomit that grass, along with the hair balls and/or other indigestible items. Or so I have been told.
