Hi Heidy!

Should I still give them cat grass?

Great question! Does either Adam or Alibi love eating the cat grass? It's important to focus on things they love.

How often do they chew on the cat grass?

Does either Adam or Alibi love eating the cat grass?

Yes, they love it. They chew on it almost everyday.
Adam also likes to wonder around outside of the home, like going to the neighbors's yard even it is dark. But I can't let him do that because it is dangerous being outside all the time like injuries or being attacked by other animals. How to find the balance between what he wants and safety?

Safety first.

Eating the grass and vomiting may be inconvenient (depending on where they vomit) is not dangerous.

not dangerous

I am relieved to learn that! I always wonder why they kept eating grass and vomiting right after. Someone else told me their cats vomit after eating grass when they're young, but not when they're adults.
