My cats love to eat plants is that there medicine ?

[mixedcurlyfries]

I have 2 cats. A big fat black and white one named Ming Lee and a small little yellow one named Ling Lee. They both love to eat the plants when we're outside. Especially Ming Lee. I usually see Ming Le biting the plant. Like chewing it. I asked someone what is it for and they told me that's a cat's medicine. That means there taking there medicine. Is this true ?

Cats eat grass for the metabolism. It is good for them. That is why many pets stores sell cat grass.

Plants help cats vomit. If they're eating a lot of plants, they could be having a hairball issue.

Eating certain plants is good for them, it helps clean out their systems. Don't be to concerned if you find hairy, grassy puke afterwards.

However, some common plants are poisonous to cats, I believe the most common are Aloe Vera, Lillies, and Pointsettas.

You can try planting some special plants for the cats that they'll love: catgrass (some sort of oat, I believe, looks like regular grass - but grows super fast), catnip, and my cats love Mint.

No not true! Plants can be lethal to a cat. Go to your local pet store and buy some cat grass and plant it for them in a container...
