关于猫草

About Cat Grass By Kelly O'Gea, eHow Contributor 渣英语翻译，有错误请指正。 转自：http://www.ehow.com/about_6569810_cat-grass.html While browsing through your local pet store, you may have noticed various kits that can be used to grow your own cat grass. But just what is cat grass, and more importantly, is it safe for your cat? By learning about benefits of cat grass, you can decide whether your own cat needs a little garden in its life. 当你在逛本地动物用品商店时，你也许会注意到各种用来自己种猫草的套装。不过究竟什么是猫草，更重要的是，这对你家猫来说安全吗？通过了解猫草的好处，你可以决定你家猫在他/她的生活中是否需要一个小花园。 Types According to the Dave's Garden website, cat grass is typically a flax, barley, wheat, or oat plant. The Cat Site also lists Japanese barnyard millet, bluegrass, fescue, and rye as acceptable alternatives, although rye needs to be carefully watched to prevent ergot, a mold that can produce a hallucinogenic chemical. 种类 根据戴夫的花园网，猫草是典型的亚麻(flax)、大麦(barley)、小麦(wheat)或燕麦(oat)植株。猫网也列出湖南稷子(Japanese barnyard millet)、早熟禾(bluegrass)、羊茅(fescue)以及黑麦做为可接受的选择，虽然黑麦需要被小心照料以防止麦角病，一种会产生致幻化学作用的霉菌。 Why Cats Eat Grass There is a lot of debate regarding why cats eat cat grass, as cats are normally carnivorous creatures, The Cat Site explains. However, the Dave's Garden website speculates on several theories, such as a need for niacin, aid in vomiting or passing a hairball, or just curiosity that leads cats to explore plant alternatives in their diet. 为什么猫吃草 猫做为通常的肉食性动物，有许多就猫为什么吃草而言的争论，猫网这样说明。另一方面，戴夫的花园网推测有好几种理论，例如对烟酸的需求，帮助呕吐或排泄毛团块，或仅仅是好奇心指引猫在他们的饮食中探索植物的选择。 Benefits As the VetInfo website explains, there are several benefits for cats who eat cat grass. Occasionally, a cat may eat something disagreeable, and eating cat grass can help them vomit. Cat grass can also have the same effect for cats with hairballs. An additional digestive benefit of cat grass can be treating and preventing diarrhea and constipation. Finally, cat grass is a good source of fiber, niacin and vitamin B. 好处 就像兽医信息网说明的，吃草对猫有些好处。有时，一只猫可能吃了些让他/她不适的东西，而吃猫草能帮助他们呕吐。猫草也会对猫毛团块有同样的效果。猫草附加的消化好处是可以治疗和预防腹泻与便秘。最后，猫草是纤维，烟酸及维生素B的一种好来源。 How to Grow Whether you buy a kit from the pet store or a seed packet from a gardening center, in order to grow your own cat grass you will need a pot or container, soil, seeds, and water. According to the National Geographic website, fill your pot or container with soil, add the seeds and press them into the soil. Water the soil until it is damp and press the seeds into the soil again. Within one to two weeks you will have tall, green cat grass for your cat to enjoy. 怎样种植 不论你是从动物用品商店买的套装，或是从花卉商店买了包种子，想要自己种猫草你将需要花盆或容器、土壤、种子和水。依据国家地理网所写，将你花盆或容器填满土，散上种子并把它们压进土中。浇水直到润湿及再一次将种子推进土中。不出一到两周你将有高高的绿色的猫草供你家猫享用了。 Precautions While introducing cat grass to your cat may distract it from your houseplants, it may also encourage it to eat more than its designated plant. Please keep the following plants provided by VetInfo out of your cat's reach or out of your home, as they are poisonous for your cat: tiger lilies, potato plants, tomato plants, eggplant plants, paprika plants, ivy, chrysanthemums, figs, mistletoe, daffodils and bulb plants, onion plants, and rhododendrons. 警惕 当介绍给你家猫吃猫草时，也许会让猫把注意力从你的室内盆栽花草转移开，也可能会激发猫不仅仅只是吃他/她的指定植物。注意接下来兽医信息网所列出的植物，不要让你家猫接触到或不要放在家中：百合花、土豆植株、西红柿植株、茄子植株、辣椒植株、常春藤、菊属、无花果、槲寄生、水仙花、球茎植物、洋葱植株和杜鹃花属。
