Hello! This is an unusual report in a cat (we hear of it in dogs, all the time but cats are generally carnivorous by nature).
I can think of a few possibilities:. 1) small insects, snails or even chemicals on the plants - beware of toxins (what sort of plants grow there for example? Check with your vet) and ensure fully wormed 2) oral satisfaction - it simply feels nice to chomp. This could have contributory conditions eg toothache, jaw abnormalities or even abdominal pain (pancreatitis is thought be be underdiagnosed in cats). Or it could just be because the cat likes the sensation 3) as an aid to vomit eg in pancreatitis 4) some nutrient missing from the grass or a genetic change in taste of the cat.
It may be worth a general health check to monitor for small fluctuations in weight and allow your vet to do a top to toe once over. Best of luck.
