Product Information

Grow a grass Kitty Pot Planter in your window. Kitty’s don’t usually eat grass, but they certainly do love it! For cat lovers! Cats eat this sparingly for essential vitamins, said to remove fur balls especially if they are house bound.

The only other way I've kept cats out of soil is to insert plastic forks into the soil with the tines up, but I'd say that's a lot less helpful than wire or netting! Plus some cats will just pull the forks out of the soil and dig anyway haha As well as being a tasty treat for your cat, cat grass has a number of health benefits. It is full of nutrients and vitamins including vitamins A and D. The laxative effect - Because cat grass is rich in soluble fibre, this aids cat's digestion and keeps their bowels in tip-top condition. Due to their daily grooming practices, your cat most likely swallows a lot of hair. If not correctly expelled, the cat fur can create a build-up of hair and digestive fluids within their stomach. But guess what? The seeds still sprouted, and they grew super healthy! And after researching even more, I found out that I hadn’t actually made “mistakes” at all. I just did it a little differently than some tutorials online. And guess what? It’s OK!When your grass is 4-6 inches, feel free to let them have a go at it! It normally takes about a week to get to this size. Please note that the habit of these plants is that they 'dead' grass' around the base of the plant, this is quite normal. Not all cats like cat grass, but if your cat doesn't take to it right away, don't lose hope, my cat Rudie only tends to like his grass once it is starting to wilt (he's a funny old fish). Make sure you have a layer of seeds that nearly covers the soil and don't cover them with too much soil, that's really all I do! You can’t really go wrong with any of these grasses – but wheatgrass and oat grass are the most popular choices.

If your cats allow, harvest some sprigs of their cat grass for smoothies or juicing, cut at the base just above the root. Blend with water in a blender and strain the juice or use the grass directly in your juicer. Next to catnip, cat grass is a staple in our house and I grow it for the catio in the Summer and indoors during winter. It’s gratifying to know that something as simple as cat grass can contribute to your cat’s environment enrichment needs to keep him happy and engaged. After all, your indoor cat has a full schedule too: Cat grasses, on the other hand, do not affect the brain, but many cats are attracted to them. There is no definite answer as to why that is, but some researchers believe cats do it to purposely help themselves throw up if they need to. It also can have a laxative effect and help them digest hairballs. In addition, they could also be eating it to get extra nutrition. You may cover the seeds with a thin layer of extra soil, about 1/4″ but I find this is not necessary. In fact, I have done both to experiment to see which would grow faster, covered or uncovered, and this does not make a difference.After your seeds are placed, place a very thin layer of dirt over the top of them, around 1/4 inch. You don’t want to cover them in TOO much soil, so you may still see some seeds popping up in the dirt after you do this step and that’s fine. Do you grow cat grass for your kitties?
