Nibbling on grass is a natural behavior for all cats. If you have an outdoor cat, chances are it’s part of your kitty’s daily routine. But if your pet spends all of its time indoors (like most domestic cats), you may want to consider growing cat grass in your home.
Grass is also a form of fiber that helps cats either throw up hairballs or digest them by acting as a laxative.
Cats eat grass for some trace minerals and the vitamins A and D. Grass also contains chlorophyll, which, before the discovery of antibiotics, was a remedy for pain, infection, ulcers, skin diseases and anemia. Grass also contains folic acid, which helps with the production of hemoglobin, the protein that moves oxygen into the blood to help kitty’s circulation. Plus, there’s the benefit of breath cleansing chlorophyll.
Cat grass is typically grown from barley, whole oats or wheatgrass seeds. First thing you need is seeds, soil and a potting container. All you’ll need to provide is water and sunlight, and within one week, your cat will have her very own organic garden for safe, healthy nibbling. Cat grass is safer than outdoor grass which may have been chemically treated
with pesticides. It also gives your cat a healthy alternative to nibbling on houseplants and flowers, many of which are toxic to cats.
Cat grass is a safe alternative to outdoor grass, which can be treated with harmful chemicals, and to certain houseplants, which can be not good for cats. It provides your cat with an opportunity to engage in a natural behavior. For outdoor cats, an indoor garden provides a healthy alternative to nibbling on outside grasses. For indoor cats, it offers a delicious taste of the outdoors.
Here are some basic tips for caring for and growing cat grass:
•Before sprouting, seeds should be kept damp but never soaked.
•Once sprouts appear, use less water.
•Allow three to seven days for seeds to sprout.
•The grass will be ready for your cat to eat in 10 to 14 days after sprouting, or once it has reached a height of four inches, and will last one to three weeks.
•Continue to keep it in natural light and water daily with a spray bottle.
•Do not over water, as this causes mold.
•Allow your cat to eat directly from the container.
•When the grass starts to wilt or turn color, plant a new container.
