Hello all.
Our little baby Cibo is almost a year old now and she is a very sweet and oddball little kitty (but who isn't? ). I can't seem to find any articles in regards to this topic and I haven't had any luck searching the forums, so I apologize if this is a duplicate.
Little Cibo seems to have developed an obsession with cat grass... to the point that whenever my significant other goes outside to water the plants (since we are growing some) she mews and begs excitedly for the green stuff. We even have had to start growing it inside because she loves it so much. However, we have been making sure she that she doesn't "gorge" on it.
My question, which I can't seem to find, is thus: When is it too much kitty grass for her to eat? Also, I have heard that you should contact a vet if they want to eat it every day, but why is this so? I know that grass is relatively indigestible to cats and they eat it to purge and also to supply themselves with folic acid, but is it weird for little Cibo to beg (ever so cutely) for grass all the time? Could it be that she's missing nutrition in her diet?
Thanks!
