I've been reading an article from Dr Karen Becker. A lot of times she is really off the mark I think, but the discussions that follow can sometimes be useful.
So I read this discussion where people have recommended supplementing with chlorophyll to prevent grass eating. Both cases were dogs not cats. I wonder if it would be safe for cats. I wonder if this would be something I could give Mazy to make her stop wanting to eat grass.
Queen Eva NEVER eats grass. She is the only one who has been on a species appropriate diet since she was 8 weeks old.
Jennie does, and just brings it back up usually, but I wouldn't mind if she stopped eating it too.
But of course as most know, it is Mazy cat who it causes the most trouble to. I am not taking them out today, even though it is a beautiful Sunday because she is still puking almost every day, from her grass eating last week. In spite of fasting periods, she has not passed the grass she ate last Sunday and she has not puked it up. She just keeps puking her meals instead, and in extremely inconvenient places. y
Yesterday right before I left for my hike she was up on the bookcase in the bedroom and puked her raw meal (that had been digesting for about 30 minutes). She hit the books, the rug, the bed and under the bed. It was and still is an unbelievable mess. I was on my way out the door when she did it, I did not have time to clean it up or feed her the slow tiny amounts of a replacement meal. All I did was scrape as much solid as I could find, then spray it all with vinegar.
Last night I spent ours with the portable carpet cleaner cleaning and sucking cleaning and sucking and the stench is still terrible. When her puke is that foul (not to mention projectile) I know she's got something sitting down there in her gut just fermenting.
So I am about to give up on ever taking them out in the yard again. I just can't cope with this.
I know Pookie is our go to on things like supplements but she's away. While we wait for her to return I will be interested in any other opinions or links anyone has that might help Mazy cat and me.
How can I find out if chlorophyll supplementation is safe for cats?
