German: Nach ihren Gesundheitsproblem neulich (durch zu viel Gras fressen) darf Miez nun nur noch jeden dritten Abend raus. Im Gegenzug darf sie meinen Sessel für sich beanspruchen.

    Because I have an interest in German but understand nothing, can you translate just gesunheitsproblem?

      This part is directly translated: Gesundheitsproblem = health problem. I was referring to my previous post about Miez feeling pretty bad about getting some grass stuck in her throat as well as her ongoing bad digestion caused by the sheer amount of grass she is eating, which has way improved following my restrictions on her outside time.

      TBH I’m pretty sick of her flatulances and diarrhea all because she won’t stop eating grass. And I don’t mean just a bit here and there. She just eats a whole bunch wherever she is. I tried training her to only feed on the soft stuff, but to no avail.

        We had a dog that started to eat huge amounts of grass outside after spending too much time with a lamb. He once ate a bunch of grass laying on the field to dry to become hay. It continued to ferment inside of him until he started to projectile puke all over the stairs down from first to ground floor.

        He specialized later and focused on dandelions and only digging up and eating the roots. Don’t know, he was a weirdo :D

        we got some grass treats and have been portioning them out to our kitties like pills

        we hope it eventually helps the flatulence. like her favorite game is farting on me.

      If it is controlled and supervised time outside then I don’t see an issue. Free roaming cats are what cause damage.

        Fully agreed. Would she catch birds, I would have serious issues with that. But her being an inside cat for most of her life plus a lamp on her collar, this thankfully ain’t an issue at all. I track her all the time she’s outside, so I know exactly at which neighbour’s garden she is at sitting in front of mouse holes and can summon her at will (which she knows is a call for treats so she listens to it closely).
