Me again about my stray cat - he is still as grumpy as ever, but I have noticed that he continually eats grass - He actually turns best ham down, but if you give him some grass he loves it. and cant' get enough - Is this normal? thanks

I think they eat grass when they are trying to make themselves sick. Has he been wormed ?

Yes, he went to the Vet three weeks ago after we found him as a stray and had his first course of vaccines and worming tablets. He is an odd cat, at first so affectionate, but after his trip to the Vet and the introduction to our cats, who don't seem bothered by each other that much, he has become so aggressive.
well, my cat is always grumpy and she used to always eat grass and we would find were she was sick. i don't have much advise just watch him and check that there is nothing in his sick if he is sick and sorry but there is nothing that can be done about grumpiness my cat scatches me and has occasional fights with my other cat we just let her sleep as long as possible and she is a little happier.
most cats will chew grass, it cleans there teeth and helps them to be sick (bring up fur ) at least that is what i was told
Cats eat grass for medicinal reasons same as some dogs.Cats find their own way as regards upset tummy,hair balls ect and if all else fails reply on us and vets for the remedy.My cats will often eat grass and buy some cat mint and see the delight with that plant.So nothing to worry about toby99.g.
When I see my cat eating grass I close the doors to all rooms with carpets, cover the sofa with an old throw, prepare a selection of cleaning products and wait for the inevitable vomit. All the cats I've ever had do the same thing: eat grass = empty stomach of contents. Thereafter they soon fill up their stomachs again with food. Unfortunately it's normal behaviour and is one of the downsides of having a cat own you!
