We take a look at KC the grass-eater.
Stepping out onto the porch he stretches.
Slips into the grass off the porch and begins the hunt for good green grass.

Cats May Eat Grass to Clear Hairballs, Like Unclogging a Drain
Cat eating spiky grass? It may have a strange benefit. Learn more about one of the strangest mysteries in pet behavior, showing how animals use plants in ingenious ways beyond food.
Cat owners know the quirks of feline housemates all too well. Committing to a cat means watching firsthand some behaviors that at first glance seem repulsive or just plain odd. For example, stumbling upon regurgitated furballs or catching our carnivorous pets happily munching on grass or houseplants.
According to a new study published in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior, those two habits might actually be connected. Researchers from High Point University in North Carolina hypothesize that cats eat certain grasses to help dislodge intestinal hairballs thanks to the plants jagged surfaces.
