The Quick Version
6 things the research tells us
If you only read one section, make it this one.
Helps with hairballs
Fiber can help move swallowed fur through the gut, or occasionally trigger a one-off purge.
Instinct meets enrichment
A safe, cat-friendly grass option can satisfy chewing urges and reduce interest in toxic houseplants.
Gentle nutrient nudge
Fresh cereal grasses contain micronutrients and roughage. Think of it as a small, natural add-on.
Safe when chosen wisely
Wheat, oat, barley, rye are commonly considered cat-safe. Avoid treated lawns and unknown plants.
When to see a vet
If eating becomes compulsive or vomiting becomes frequent, it's time for a checkup.
