Why do my kittens love tall grass so much?

9 Answers  |  Asked By: cutiekitties   563   

My two kittens (and their mom) love to play in the tall grass that borders our flower beds. They pounce and leap all over it! They eat it too! Why do they enjoy playing in it so much? and can eating it make them sick?

Playing in the grass mimics hunting so they enjoy it.

And yes, eating regular grass can make them vomit because the edges of the grass are and irratate the digestive tract. It’s best to offer your kitty oat, rye or wheat grass, that you have grown in a pot without chemicals, if they enjoy munching on greens. The edges of those grasses are not serated and won’t make your kitty vomit.

When cats leap on tall grass, it moves,Right?
And when things move,cats think it is prey.
And when cats eat grass it does not make the sick it makes them well.
