Cat Grass
Veterinarian Dr. Conny Kolo on cat grass:

"Cats are clean animals. However, a lot of hair gets swallowed during their daily cleaning, which can form solid hairballs in the stomach. If the cat does not manage to get rid of this hairball regularly by vomiting, it can develop into a bezoar. Other health problems, such as gastritis and stomach pain, are possible consequences."

When cat grass can be useful according to Veterinarian Conny Kolo:
"Eating grass can help cats to get rid of their hairballs. For indoor cats in particular, it is important to provide them with a safe and non-toxic source of food before they start nibbling on houseplants. Specialised cat grass provides a safe way for cats to satisfy their natural need to eat grass and thereby can help support their digestion. It is important that the cat grass is fresh, free from pesticides and specifically suitable for cats."
