About Cat Grass Seeds
Avena sativa
Do you want to keep your cats from eating potentially harmful houseplants, or coarse, outdoor grass that sticks to the back of their tongues and might contain pesticides? Because it's grown indoors, fibrous cat grass can be served fresh, year-round to assist your cat with digestion, and may help prevent furballs. Grass is ready for cats to eat when it is 2"-4" high; place near their water or food bowl for only a few minutes so that they don't binge. Feed for a few minutes at a time on a regular basis to get your kitty's tummy used to it, allowing absorption of all the nutrients. Great for dogs, too!

Great success with the cat grass seeds. Very easy to grow. I do soak the seeds overnite to help germination. Both my cats and dogs love them.

That's awesome that your Cat Grass Seeds sprouted so quickly! Fast germination is always exciting to see. Don't worry if your kitty isn't diving into them right away - some cats take a little time to discover their new treat, and others just prefer to nibble here and there. The grass will keep growing fresh for your feline friend to enjoy whenever the mood strikes! Keep on growing 🌻️
