Why Do Cats Eat Grass?

10. When To Call a Veterinarian

There are a few times when eating grass may require veterinary attention. If your cat eats grass in large amounts or very frequently, you may want to see your veterinarian for a general check-up to help rule out any underlying issues that may be causing digestive upset or other problems.

On rare occasions, a blade of grass can become stuck in your cat's throat. This usually causes sneezing, coughing, and other signs of irritation. If you notice these symptoms after your cat has eaten grass, you may need a veterinarian to remove a stuck blade. If your cat eats toxic plants or plants that have been treated by herbicides or pesticides, call your veterinarian or an animal poison control center immediately.
