KittyCat KC Wednesday

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.

Let's find some more.

Can't get enough!

I've had enough. Time to head for my closet and a nap.

Ahhh, Nite nite.

He does like that human touch.

Safe, temporarily, from the dog.

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.
