Cat grass is any grass that is grown specifically for cats, usually indoors. It may be grown in a dish from which the cat chews the grass directly or just added to cat food. The most common stated benefit is to aid the passing of hairballs.[1] Although cats may favor eating the grass, it has no pharmaceutical effect.[1]
