If the cat does not eat cat grass, the owner can try to mix the cat grass into other foods so that the cat can eat the cat grass while eating. If the cat still refuses to eat cat grass mixed with other foods, the owner can also replace the cat grass with other thick fiber foods to help expel the hair balls. If the cat really doesn’t like the taste of cat grass or fruits and vegetables, the owner can directly use hair removal cream instead of cat grass. At the same time, owners can also help cats groom their hair by brushing and combing them during daily feeding.

1. Mix cat grass into other foods

If the cat does not take the initiative to eat cat grass, the owner can try to cut some cat grass into pieces, and then mix it into canned food, fish and other foods to feed the cat. In this way, the cat can eat the cat grass while eating. However, owners should also be careful not to collect cat grass casually in the wild, otherwise they may be poisoned. It is recommended to buy cat grass seeds and plant them at home. This can ensure that the cat grass is fresh, pollution-free, and will not harm the health of cats.

2. Feed other coarse fiber foods

If the cat still refuses to eat cat grass mixed with other foods, the owner can also replace the cat grass with other coarse fiber foods, such as feeding Some pumpkins, broccoli, apples and other fruits and vegetables. The crude fiber in these foods can also help expel hair balls, promote intestinal peristalsis, and aid digestion. But owners should also be careful not to feed their cats too much, otherwise they may suffer from indigestion.

3. Use depilatory cream instead of cat grass

If the cat really doesn’t like the taste of cat grass or fruits and vegetables, the owner can directly use dehair cream instead. Although the ingredients of cat grass and cat grass are different, they achieve the same effect. It is recommended that owners purchase hair removal cream through formal channels or pet hospitals or clinics to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
