some people use the terms kitty grass and catnip interchangeably. However, in this instance, kitty grass refers to the shoots of grains such as rye, oats, barley, and wheat that are grown to be fed to cats. So.. yes
the benefits are:
Even though cats are primarily meat eaters, they do like to nibble at leaves and other types of vegetation from time to time.
If you own a cat you may have seen him or her munching on your house plants, which in fact can be dangerous. Many indoor (and outdoor) plants are poisonous to cats. Mistletoe, rhododendron, and daffodil are examples of these dangerous plants. And to complicate matters, many outdoor plants and lawns are treated with pesticides and/or fertilizers, which are also hazardous to your cat's health.
Cats are carnivores, but they still need fiber in their diet.

What makes a cat more hyper catnip or cat grass?
Catnip is what will make your cat hyper. Catnip affects the majority of cats like a drug (some refuse to eat it or are unaffected by it.) Cat grass is also known as wheat grass and it is eaten by cats for roughage; many owners use it indoors so their cats won't eat their house plants. Some cats have symptoms from catnip other than being "hyper" - acted sedated, or seeming to hallucinate (chasing invisible things, being spooked by nothing, etc.) But catnip doesn't seem to have any ill effects. Cat grass is recommended for a cat's digestive health.
