Dangers in the grass
Greetings,
Does anyone know the true risks of parasitic infections for a strictly house cat being given outside grass? I believe an important part of the life cycles of many pests include laying eggs on grass that is then eaten by an unsuspecting host. Seems as if I would be exposing my cat to some of the dangers of the outside while denying her all of its pleasures. But, I have been giving my cat a few blades of grass a day from the yard for 4 years now without any ill effects... so far. Ed

You can buy it at a store like Whole Foods. They have it labeled as "pet grass" in the produce section. Or, you can grow your own.
