Hello,
I just wanted to comment, I recently purchased and grew some wheat grass for my cat... I have been told it does not matter what kind of grass it is... cats do not need grass if they are getting a good diet.
My cat recently had to undergo life-saving surgery ( at a cost of 1300.00) to remove a blockage in her intestines made up of grass and hair. Eating grass is not a fix for any cat problems and after this experience and discussions with my vet and online research, I have found that it can cause more problems which far outweigh the gratification that a cat owner gets by growing grass and seeing their innocent animals enjoy eating it.
No one should have to go through what I have been through with my cat, deciding to go ahead with the costly surgery has caused a financial hardship for my family. A cats life should not be a financial decision.
