Grass eating, throwing up and malt paste

[Sevaede]

aww - I feel your pain - Strauss and Joxer have delicate tummies also. (or they eat too fast. ).

Have you tried wrapping Lily up in a towel? We recently had to give Strauss some meds and would get the clamped mouth routine - and at least when he's wrapped in a towel its harder for him to escape.

That's how it is with Soni and Isis. We usually wrap them in a blanket and go from there.

Where in the Pacific Northwest? My husband and I just moved from there. Boy, I miss it. Well, except for where we were living. We were living in that little craphole called Pendleton. I really miss Eugene, though. And the coast!

Kirsten, it seems that Luna is a "grass eater", like Peppito. When he goes outside, he can't help, just run and eat as much grass as possible (which usually shortens his outside walks very quickly!) and then he vomits, of course. Most of the time there is no hair ball. I think he is grass-addicted. Before we had a garden I was growing grass for him in the appartment, I could not give him before it was fully grown, otherwise within one hour there was nothing left! And when I gave him, he was pulling all of the grass out of the pot and eating, eating...
I am not sure it is a real need of grass in this case, he really looks mad when he smells grass...

My Finnigan is the same with grass, he just has to eat it!

Maybe it's a tabby thing!

My cats eat the odd bit of grass, but not very much, they just chomp on it because it moves, along with everything else.
