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
