Hi
Both of my kitties (7 and a half months old) eat grass in the garden, nothing unusual about that. However, they have both nearly choked on me (once each) becuase of not chewing it! Maggie this morning had a choking fit, I didn't know exactly what to do so I gave her a firm wallop on her back between her shoulder blades (as I would do this to a human and I didn't really have time to think about it!) and lots of grass came out of her at that point and all was well. She had about 5 or 6 long blades of grass in her gullet.
Does anyone else find this with their cats? Was I right to give her a firm wallop on her back or is there a better way to deal with this (in case it happens again!) The wallop did not hurt her by the way.
Thanks
