QUESTION: Is it OK for cats to eat grass? My cat enjoys grass but it sometimes makes her sick.

ANSWER: Grass is healthy in moderation, and most pet supply stores sell seeds so that you can grow fresh greens for a healthy diet. Pesticides and fertilizers of outdoor grass can cause problems, as can a large amount of grass or leaves. It can result in vomiting or act as a laxative.
