cat grass question
My cat was gifted with a CatGrass Planter.
The oat and wheat grass is now 4 inches high. I introduced the planter to my cat, an indoor cat. She sniffed once and walked away. I clipped one blade and tried to entice her. Crushed the blade and held it near her nose...no luck She has no idea that it is edible... Now what? Do most cats know that grass is good for them? How can I convince her? T.I.A. for suggestions Sylvia R |

My cats (Holly and Duffy, at the time I tried it) ignored any cat grass in a planter. At the same time, I could not have any living *decorative* indoor plants because they would eat it. Likewise, they would not touch catnip that I grew, but they love dried catnip that I buy. Mary |

Mary Ah yes. Totally understand... I'll give a try to putting it on the dining room table as a *decorative* indoor plant. That might also tempt her ... or not Sylvia R |

The way they get it out is to sneeze repeatedly while banging their heads on the floor. I'd think twice about giving that to him. Seen it happen. Of course, it's your trip, man. It''s totally up to you..... IBen Getiner |

I don't doubt its truth. Thanks for this additional info. Sylvia M Pretty much nonsense. My cats eat indoor or outdoor grass and usually end up upchucking. Many cats do that. It seems to help them out. As soon as my cats get outside they start chewing the grass. Then they come inside to upchuck. It's ok, it cleans them out and I get to clean up a bit of vomit and grass. I just wish they'd do it outside. Or maybe they do and I don't notice it. |
