Over the last month one of our cats continually comes in and is sick from eating grass. Why do cats do this ?????

Their stomach might be upset, it's to help them 'throw up' I think Chris.

It is a stomach issue Chris. The same applies to dogs. I think it has been discussed in this thread.
Happy reading.

Many cats like to eat grass. The grass gives the cat extra fiber and helps with digestion. The grass can also help the cat to get out of the hairballs either by the vomit or faeces.

A cat feel good to eat cat grass. Cat grass is common oat (Avena sativa). Cat grass contains vitamins and minerals and also facilitates digestion of the cat. Even dogs and guinea pigs can get oat grass supplementation during the year.

Oats/cat grass is bought in shops that sell seeds. One tip is that if you know someone who rides or have access to horses, one may ask if you can bring or buy a small bag of oats horses food. It works just as well as the bought. On Granngården you can buy oats in sacks, a sack is sufficient enough for a lifetime for a small cat.

Thank you for the link Mark.

Homeless is still cruising thru, but not everyday. Not sure where he hangs out, but he could use a bath.

You're welcome Ulihon. I find it refreshing how members of the grranimal kingdom so often look out for each other.

And good luck trying to give a wayward kitty a bath....LOL!

My cats seem to spend a load of time sleeping then disappear. I can never find camera when they do something interesting (or I don't think about it until too late)
I'm not a complete idiot, but, I'm working on it.
I have an opinion and I'm not afraid to use it

Today Grace was sneezing a lot.

Well...just keep an eye on it.
Cats don't usually sneeze too much.
Mine will have a day here and there when it seems they are sneezing a lot. But it has always gone away by the next day or two.

If it keeps up more than 3 or 4 days in a row, I would say it would be prudent for Grace to visit a kitty vet. Kitties can get some respiratory infections that are not good if not treated.

Yeah that's what I read too, the heater is on, has been on ever since after She started to sneeze, most of what I read wouldn't make sense, since She doesn't go outside and there are no other cats. Today Her head didn't feel as warm, as last time compared to the rest of Her body, so whatever it is, I think She's fighting it off.
