BelskyBlueEyes 0 #2 April 4, 2007 Natures way of relieving them of an upset tummy/digestive system. You will notice kitty will probably proceed to vomit. Dogs do the same thing. It is perfectly normal and ok, as long as they dont eat anything that has weed killer etc on it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karma eats grass regularly without throwing up. edited to add: Keep in mind that dogs explore a lot of the world through their mouth's (taste, smell, etc) since they don't have the hands to pick things up to look at them.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

tigra 0 #6 April 4, 2007 Mine LOVE their grass, and only 2 of them regularly hack it up after they eat it. One is polite enough to do it while she's still in the yard, the other waits until he's inside and can do it on the middle of the floor, or the bedspread, or the couch! My cats are housecats, but they have supervised yard priveleges! They love to roll around on the concrete, eat grass, stare at the birds and chase bugs and butterflies!

virgin-burner 1 #7 April 4, 2007 by that, and the vomiting, they get rid of all of the hair that collects in their stomach from licking themselfs clean. the hair doesnt digest, otherwise they would starve at some point.. my dog does it too, she can kepp on cleaning herself for hours, preferably on my bed until its all nice wet and nasty..“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

tigra 0 #8 April 4, 2007 I know, I just find it funny that a cat who is so meticulous about using a clean litter box will hack up his hairballs wherever he feels like it- generally in the middle of the floor or on the bed if that's where he happens to be and doesn't feel like moving!
