The Household Omnivore






The Household Omnivore

We all know that cats are efficient hunters. They're carnivores. They eat meat. So why do they stalk our houseplants? There are two possible reasons why cats crave greenery. One is that they eat grass and other plants as a dietary supplement. The other theory is that the roughage helps clean out their system, and aids in expelling hairballs.

Either way, their habit of nibbling on houseplants can be destructive to your decor (and dangerous if the plant is poisonous). Many cat owners grow small containers of grass, sprouted birdseed, or even catnip for their cats to munch on.
