what kind of grass is cat grass
Cat grass (catgrass) is a name used to describe a number of different types of grass which are popular with cats. It would appear that there are two main species of grass referred to as cat grass. Dactylitis Glomerata (also known as Orchard Grass or Cock's Foot) and Avena sativa (common oat, cat oat).
Other common types of grass are often referred to as cat grass include barley and wheatgrass. When cats hunt and eat their prey, they would also consume the stomach and its contents. These stomach contents would contain small amounts of plant material, which in turn your cat would ingest.
Tommy is probably the only one who knows for sure why he likes to have an occasional salad before dinner. Whatever the reason cats like to eat grass, the type you'll commonly see your cat gnawing on is simple turf or lawn grass, or the tall-growing quack grass weed, also known as couch grass.
