Cat grass...

Tanya · 10-02-2007, 07:11 PM

When I was in Pets at Home earlier I noticed that they sold cat grass.

Does anybody have any idea what its for? (i'm guessing for the cats to eat!!)

But does it have extra goodness?

Do you reccommend buying it for cats?

Thanks

Cat grass is good for your cat as its fibrous and helps to bind fur balls etc so that cats are able to eliminate them more effectively.

Yes, Elaine has described it's uses. ...some cats won't eat it, however! Mine would eat outdoor grass when they were walking outdoors on leads, but absolutely spurned the indoor grass I bought for them: gave it to my neighbor and her cat wouldn't eat it either!! Leia doesn't go out, so I pick some "wild" outdoor grass for her every day which she enjoys. Why not try some and see?

My boys loved their cat grass loads (must go and buy some more). It is as Elaine said, good for their digestive system and helps fur pass through the gut better.

I've never used 'cat grass' although I do have some waiting to be grown. My outdoor cats can often be seen to be eating grass in our garden. I will get round to growing the cat grass for my indoor cats...

Fran, I;d be interested to know if they eat it! Leia just had her "wild" grass that I picked for her and she enjoyed it...will not eat the indoor cat grass!

I'll set about growing it tomorrow Eileen, not sure how long it would take before it would be long enough for them to have?? Maybe Mags will have an idea as she often has some for Cassie..

It doesnt take long to grow, just a week or so, Cats like it, so do rabbits!! Needless to say when Radish got to ours, all that was left was a brown stump!

Cassie loves her cat grass, I grow it indoors every winter. As has been said, it aids their digestion and helps to bring up any 'nasties'

It grows very quick and I ocassionally trim it with scissors

That looks interesting - will have a look in PAH next time I go by
