Why do cats eat alfalfa?

Cats eating alfalfa can supplement vitamins and minerals, which is beneficial to the cat’s better growth. It can also promote the cat’s gastrointestinal motility, help eliminate hair balls, and prevent cats from developing hair balls. Because cats lick their own hair, they will eat some hair, so they need to eat grass to help eliminate it, but you don’t need to feed too much at one time, just let the cat eat some occasionally.
