Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for December 17, 2013

Then later on we can throw up together.

Dogs, too. It helps them if they have a tummy ache. Our clean-up isn’t so pleasant, though.

You can sell it and go to jail.

There are three reasons a cat will eat grass:

To supplement their diet

Grass juice contains folic acid, a vitamin that supports cats’ growth and helps increase oxygen levels in their blood. If your cat is grazing, it may be because he or she is battling a dietary deficiency and is in search of this vitamin boost.

For natural laxative benefits

Eating grass helps your cat have regular bowel movements, something that’s especially important for digestive tracts sometimes clogged by fur. While broad grasses seem to have a laxative effect, narrow grasses are suspected to help a cat settle an upset stomach.

It relieves an upset stomach

You may notice that your cat vomits shortly after eating grass—he or she is actually doing this on purpose. Cats don’t have the necessary enzymes to digest a large amount of grass, which is why it can make them sick. But in the process of throwing up, your cat also clears his stomach of fur, feathers, parasites or bones, which can irritate the digestive tract or even cause more lasting illness.

Re: Grass eating cats (or any animal).

Make sure to keep it away from herbicide and pesticide treated grass.

Until they eat some bahai grass and it goes all the way through their little system and won’t quite make it all the way out. In which case YOU get to help. No thank-you. BTDT

Wonderful bit…or bite

ask a Vet – I was told it’s just a habit having no real effects…..

I wonder if LSU’s Les Miles is reading this.

You think maybe they eat grass because it taste good?

Read this carefully… TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!

Maybe Satchel made Brownies!

Back in the 70s, I had a roommate in Santa Barbara who ate grass. She smelled…green.

Setting aside the fascinating discussion of pet vomit, what exactly is the joke in this strip? Satchel wants to eat grass with Bucky so they can throw up together?
