2536.0. "Part Cow?" by DELNI::J_LEMMON () Fri Jun 02 1989 18:32

    
    Does anyone out there have a kitty who likes to eat grass?  Puffin
    LOVES IT!  She is an indoor kitty and I wonder if she might have
    a vitamin deficiency or something.  Occasionally she comes out in
    the yard with me and just chows away.  I'm beginning to think she's
    part cow! ;-)

    P.S.  I've tried the indoor stuff that you can buy at pet stores
          but she doesn't seem to like that as much.

2536.1 Kitty kisses anyone ???AIMHI::SPINGLERFri Jun 02 1989 18:4218
    
    Panther must be part cow too!
    
    She loves to chow down on grass when she is out on the leash.  Maybe 
    she just likes the chlorphyll (SP?) in it, (you know to make her breath
    kissing sweet?)
    
    I don't think it's a vitimin deficency, Both my girls are on science
    diet and take one pet tab per day.  (My vet recommends them, sort of
    like a One-A-day for cats.
    
    Maybe she is part Angus, (all black cattle) but I never saw one so
    small!! ;-)
    
    Feline fine,

    Ah yes, the grazing furry foursome.  They all love to eat grass
    and even Tymothee is doing it.  They always look so disappointed
    in the winter when the grass is dead or covered up with snow.

2536.3Molly LOVES grass!WR2FOR::MURRAY_LYMon Jun 05 1989 18:199
    
    Molly LOVES to eat grass  -and spends most of her idle time doing
    just that.  Her brother, Iago, chomps down a bit too, though not
    to the extent Molly does  -she's wild for the stuff.  She's 7 years
    old and has been doing it most of her life.  She's in excellent
    health, so I don't think it's particularly harmful....

    I've been told they do it to aid in their digestion.  I always
    found that with my old lady (since deceased) that it just made her
    come in and throw up, but she sure did love it.  She always went
    for the real looooong pieces too which she never managed to chew
    properly.  Tried the indoor stuff, but it didn't meet her fancy!
    
    I now have two indoor boys who have not tasted it and are in FINE
    health without it.
