Cats eat the leaf parts of dogtail grass. Setaria is mainly composed of leaves and rhizomes. Cats mainly eat the leaves of Setaria to ingest crude fiber to promote digestion, or stimulate the gastrointestinal tract to vomit out some contents in the stomach, such as hair and other foreign bodies. In addition to dogtail grass, some wheat grass and oat grass are edible for cats.

Benefits of cats eating dogtail grass:

1. Promote digestion. Dogtail grass can be used as cat grass to promote intestinal peristalsis in cats.

2. Help cats stimulate their gastrointestinal tract to vomit out some stomach contents, such as hair and other foreign bodies.

3. Cats often suffer from vomiting and anorexia after developing hairball syndrome. Taking foxtail grass can slow down the symptoms of vomiting in cats.

4. Excessive accumulation of cat hair in the cat’s stomach will cause abnormal digestion and absorption. At this time, you need to eat some dogtail grass to help excrete the cat hair.

5. Setariae contains a large amount of plant fiber. When a cat’s digestive system is dysfunctional, eating some setaria appropriately can help the cat digest meat protein in the stomach.
