My cat is an house cat and on a special diet of urinary S.O food (dry and wet). Is it ok to introduce Kitty Grass.

The purpose of the S.O. diet is to keep the urine at a constant pH to prevent formation of crystals/stones in the bladder. Anything else the cat eats (including grass) can change the pH of the urine so I would say no, don't risk giving it. Good question. Thanks for asking.
