All cats crave grass as it is a part of their natural diet. So when I saw the self-grow cat wheatgrass kit at the pet store I bought it for my FIV cat. My plan was to plant the seed packet in a self-watering container, let it grow on my sun porch so my cats would not disturb it, then bring indoors for my cat to enjoy as a healthy treat.
The kit is quite easy as it allows you to grow the grass right out of the bag. All you do is mix the wheat grass seeds with the soil and mulch that is provided, water and within a week you have cat grass.
Here is a photograph of my FIV cat named Sam and Oliver. They really devoured the wheat grass. At first, they did not know what to do with it so Oliver sat on the grass. Sam needed to show him that the grass was meant to eat.
Wheatgrass is nutritious for cats it contains antioxidants, vitamin A, B-complex, chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamin C, minerals and amino acids. It is also a natural way to control hairballs.
The grass was a healthy treat for my cats and they loved it. Like all treats, I did take the grass away as they should be fed only a small amount. Think of the cat grass as a special treat.
