I think vampires eat grass for roughage, then pass it as
balls. OoooooooooooOOOOO, Carol. Hope you don't find any vampire larvae
inside. OOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOO. Margaret L

Not my cats. Any grass vomitted up would be just leaves of grass with lots of
mucous on them. And, hairballs aren't balls either, more like sausages.

I certainly don't. Mine flowers once, in spring, no matter how mild the
winter.

On top of my vinca minor, between the hydrangea, I have found several grass balls, smaller than an egg, almost completely round. Is this what cats vomit when they have been eating grass?

As you can imagine the vinca was covered with snow and was, though green, not blossoming when the snow melted. First flowers appeared very fast on the part that is growing up the outer walls of the house.

Who else has flowering vinca minor in winter? When it is mild it seems to flower almost as much as in summer, mild being above 0C.
