BENEFITS OF CAT GRASS FOR CATS AND HOW TO GROW IT

5/22/2014

3 Comments

 
 What is cat grass? Cat grass is grass which consists of a number
of different types of grass. The two main ones are
1)     
Dactylitis
Glomerata
2)     
Avena
Sativa
Many places are now carrying cat grass or you can grow it
  yourself.
Why do cats eat grass? There are a number of reasons. First of
all I want to mention that eating grass is not a bad thing. The reasons
are:
1)     
It acts as 
natural laxative when your
cat needs a little help with the fur that travelled deep into their digestive
tract to break down and pass
2)     
Eating grass also helps to
bring up hair balls
3)     
Cat grass also help to
provide certain nutrients and vitamins and your cat sometimes likes to
nibble.
4)     
Cat grass contains folic acid
that assists in the production of hemoglobin which is a protein that moves
oxygen in the blood

 How to grow cat
grass

1)     
Obtain cat grass seeds from
your local garden centre
2)     
Add potting mix to
pot
3)     
Place the seeds evenly over
top of soil and push the seeds lightly down
4)     
Add enough water to
moisten
5)     
Place in a sunny
spot
6)     
Water when soil gets
dry
7)     
Should sprout within 5 to 7
days and when the grass reaches 1” to 2” it is ready for your kitty to nibble
on
