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.

Hi Ed,
Why not give your kitty a container of wheat grass to munch on?  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.
