Why won't my kitten eat Petco cat grass? Is it good for her?

Question

I just bought grass from petco for my kitten, she likes to chew on my fake plants but now that I gave her real grass she won't even bite into it. Why is that? Is grass good for her? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 months and 16 days old | 10 lbs

Grass is good for cats. It helps break down their food and therefore helps cats that vomit frequently due to a sensitive stomach or IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). However if Luna doesn't like to eat the grass, then unfortunately there aren't many options to get her to like it. As an alternative you can offer her an easily digestible diet once she is an adult cat (over the age of 1). I would recommend some good high quality brands such as Royal Canin Gastrointestinal high fiber, Limited ingredient Natural Balance or even Wellness no grain, if she develops any kind of stomach issues in the future.
