SHOULD YOUR CAT EAT GRASS?
你的猫应该吃草吗?
From what I know, cats are obligate carnivores, so they require meat to thrive. Cats normally don’t need vegetables in their diet but they lack the enzyme required to properly digest carbohydrates and process them metabolitically.
据我所知，猫是天生的食肉动物，所以他们需要吃肉才能茁壮成长。猫通常不需要在他们的饮食中包含蔬菜，但是他们缺乏一种正常所需的酶去帮它们自主消化和处理碳水化合物。

I saw many times my first cats eat some grass in the garden of my parents in France, so why these cats eat some grass? Is it a natural necessity? Are they attract by the taste of grass? Should your cats eat grass?
我看过很多次，但第一次看到猫吃草是在法国我父母的花园里。所以为什么这些猫吃草呢？这是一种自然的必要吗？它们是被草的味道所吸引吗？你的猫应该吃草吗？

It is very difficult to answer to all these questions as there are only a few studies about it. Meanwhile, some natural behaviors can explain why your cats enjoy eating grass:
In the nature, cats hunt birds and mice. When the cats catch these preys, most of the time, they eat it. So, sometimes cats also eat feathers and bones that are very difficult to digest. Eating grass may help them to digest. Sometimes, the cat will throw up after eating grass. Your cat may clean his digestive tract.
由于研究这个问题的文献很少，所以其实很难回答这些问题。但是，一些自然的行为可以解释为什么你的猫喜欢吃草：
在大自然中，猫捉鸟和老鼠。当猫抓住猎物，大多数时间，他们会直接吃掉。因此，有时猫吃到的那些羽毛和骨头是难以消化的。而吃草可以帮助它们消化。有时，猫吃草后会呕吐。但这可以有助于它们清理肠道，利于消化。
When your cat is grooming himself, sometimes, it happens that some hairballs form in the stomach so cats will eat grass as a kind of natural laxative (grass contain fibers). Sometimes, eating grass also help them to throw up their hairballs.
当你的猫梳理自己，有时，会有一些毛球堆积在胃部，所以猫会吃草作为一种天然的泻药（草含有纤维）。有时候吃草也可以帮助他们吐毛球。

There is a more scientific reason that can explain why cats eat grass. Grass is a source of folic acid; essential vitamin to cat’s bodily functions and assists in the production of hemoglobin (helps to oxygenate the blood). Grass may also help to detoxify the liver and may have anti-inflammatory properties.
这里有一个更科学的理由，可以解释为什么猫要吃草。草是叶酸的来源；维生素对猫的身体来说，有助于增加血红蛋白的产生（有助于氧合血）。草也可以帮助肝脏解毒并且可能还具有抗炎特性。

Most of domestic cats in Shanghai are only indoor cats. Do we still recommend buying some grass to your cats?
在上海，大多数的家猫都是室内猫，我们建议您可以买一些猫草给您的猫咪食用。
Yes, definitively. Cats eat grass naturally in the nature and grow grass in your flat enrich their territory. Next to your cat grass, you can also grow some parsley and sage. Your cat will also enjoy it and will avoid the other plants (Most of plants are toxic or poisonous to cats). An “happy” cat is a cat who lives in a territory where he can find a complete safety and all the attributes of the nature. Grass is one of these attributes.
因为猫天生需要吃草，在您的公寓里种一些草来丰富它们的生活环境。在您的猫草旁边也可以种植一些欧芹和鼠尾草，您的猫也会很喜欢，而且这同时会避免猫咪再去靠近其他植物（大多数植物对猫来说是有毒的）。猫只有在能感受到足够安全和有自然属性的地方生活才是最快乐的。而猫草就是这些自然属性之一。
