Description

Be careful not to not confuse Cat Grass and Catnip. The two names refer to very different things. Catnip is a term that encompasses several plants that have the characteristic of making most cats euphoric and causing them to behave like they are drunk. They act on the nervous system of felines, triggering a storm of pheromones.

Here we want to talk to you about Cat Grass. This Cat Grass is a mixture of cereals, including wheat, barley, and rye. Ingesting these plants has a purgative effect on cats and allow them to regurgitate the hairballs they tend to swallow during grooming. Cats are attracted to these grasses and will ignore other plants in the apartment or garden that may be toxic for it.

Harvesting: your pet can consume these grasses from one week after sowing, as the seeds germinate very quickly.

Storage: Cat Grass should be consumed gradually. Remember to water it moderately but regularly.

Gardener's tip: why not create a square for yourself? You won't call it Cat Grass any more, and you can make a grass juice from it. Full of chlorophyll, it also helps detoxify the human liver and stimulate hemoglobin production. To do this, all you need is a blender. Cut the grass blades and chop them small so that they don't get caught in the blades.

Planting and care

Cultivation: Cat Grass can be grown indoors all year round. Take a pot and fill it with garden soil or a mixture of 'special sowing' compost. For my cat, I use an old Bonzaï pot that has the advantage of not being too deep - so I don't need a lot of soil - and offering a sufficient surface for the cat to consume from while remaining aesthetic. I evenly sprinkle the seeds directly onto the soil without burying them. It takes just over a week to have a nice pot of herbs that is 15 to 20cm (6 to 8in) tall.

Maintenance: Water regularly but moderately. This Cat Grass can last for almost a month. As the herb withers, you can prepare a second pot or add some seeds to the existing pot to revive it.
