What grass should I grow for my cat?
I heard that many people grow grass specifically for their cats. What kind of grass is good for them? At the pet store they told me that they don’t have one.. But so far I’ve only gone to one..

Most often it is sprouted oats that are sold. My cat chews it quite well. Although in the summer you can just pick different grass from the street and see what the cat prefers. Then bring the same one.
I bought grass seeds for cats, but not at a pet store, but at a store that sells seeds for gardeners. The grass did not have time to grow, the cat tore it right out by the roots. Now in the fall I dig up a bunch of wheatgrass and plant it in a flower pot. The cat eats it all winter.
Luda, is it okay to ask for grass seeds for cats in a regular store? or does it have a specific name?
Cats love barley, oats, and wheat. Each cat may have its own preferences. Most pet stores have special grass seeds that can be grown for cats. Many of my friends do this.
In a regular seed store they sell grass for cats; it has already been specially selected; all that remains is to plant it. The main thing is not to bury it deeply and put the bag on the pot, make something like a greenhouse and water it regularly.
And my cat preferred to chew cyperus over all other plants - this is a palm-shaped houseplant, you know, probably. so the tsiperus was all eaten clean. only then did Kuzma agree to chew oat sprouts.
I dug up a wheatgrass root, planted it in a box on the windowsill, it grows and you can’t remove it like a weed - it’s immortal)). I took narrow boxes on my windowsill, there was not enough space on it.
Mine, in addition to cyperus, also eats dracaena from time to time, but she won’t eat any grass from the pet store. So cats, like people, have their own tastes.
Let your cat go outside, and she will find what grass to eat on her own, without your help. I've never bothered with weed. In the summer, the cat searches and eats on its own, and in the winter I buy her vitamins. By the way, I agree with one of the forum members that cats still often like to chew indoor plants. I devoured the cypyrus without a twinge of conscience.
Our cat also ate all the cyperus, probably because this houseplant resembles sedge, which cats use to treat and cleanse their stomach and intestines. And at home you can grow simple oats - cats also eat them with pleasure.
I grow young oats on the window for the cat. These seeds are sold in pet stores just like any other seeds in "seed" stores.
Pet stores usually sell oats already grown, but to what extent the cat needs it is a question.I have several purebred cats, I once bought them this herb to try, and the poor people vomited in the entire pride. Moreover, it seems that the grass is needed to help throw up something, but when all the animals are vomiting for 24 hours, as if they were poisoned, the desire to buy them this grass again somehow disappears.
You just need to keep track of how much your cat eats. As soon as she gets grass, she will eat it greedily until she vomits. A little bit is fine.
Cats love grass! But you can’t feed your cat grass all the time!
Cats, like dogs, love wheatgrass. We bought some other grass for the cat, but the cat doesn’t eat it. He always eats wheatgrass with pleasure, however, you need to try to select young blades of grass; he doesn’t like old, hard ones. I bring the grass home to the cat from the street.
Not all cats like the same grass. Mine eats oats, others may eat garden weeds. It makes sense to try wearing different ones, and let him choose what he likes.
You can sometimes give them mint, they say it’s good for the cat’s stomach
I brought wheatgrass from the street to my cat, she always ate this grass when she ran outside, so she noticed what kind of grass she eats. I didn’t see her eating any other grass.
My cats ate a good avocado sprout that took me a long time to grow. And they gnawed all the flowers too. I had to leave the ficus and cacti, they were indifferent to them. But they didn’t eat the oats that I sprouted for them.

You can grow oats for your cat. It is bought in seed stores. Or buy this herb or mixture of herbs at the pet store. It's called "Cat Grass". It is not expensive and grows well.
We planted this special grass for the cat, but he doesn’t eat it, he prefers indoor flowers and has already eaten many of them. In the summer I constantly pick out wheatgrass for him - this is the grass he loves most, although we haven’t tried planting wheatgrass at home.
