You can give a kitten cat grass at any age. Especially since they are not fully domesticated animals and would have access to grass normally if they were allowed to be in their natural habitat (outside). Cat grass provides mostly digestive benefits, in that the roughage helps them digest their food better. So it is mostly helpful for cats that have digestive issues, but is still beneficial for cats that are completely healthy.

    Fluffy can begin munching cat grass as soon as he is weaned. Besides, providing additional fiber and aiding digestion, cat grass does contain some B vitamins.
