Cats are carnivorous animals, but also like to eat grass. As filmed in West Sumatra Province, Indonesia below.

A three-year-old female cat ran into the grass as soon as she was released from her cage in Bukittinggi City.

The cat looks engrossed in choosing grass and eating the grass she likes. There were some blades of grass that the cat had eaten.

Wahyu Lelo, the filmer and friend of the cat owner, said that the cat belonging to a soup seller is often locked in a cage by the owner.

"Out of compassion, sometimes I take the cat out of its cage once or twice a week. The cat often eats grass when I take it out in the morning or evening," Lelo said.

Cats eating grass is common as a natural laxative.

Grass fiber functions to expel something that is difficult for cats to digest, such as hairballs or worms that live in the intestines, as well as swallowed bones.

In addition, it is also to facilitate the process of vomiting for food that is sometimes difficult to digest.

Various scientific studies mention other benefits of cats chewing and swallowing grass to increase folic acid in the cat's body, and also as a stress reliever.
