With all of the garden and landscape preparation that’s been going on around here lately I figured it was only fair that we plant something for kitty to enjoy.
While at the local hardware store a few weeks ago I picked up some Livingston Seed Co. “Cat Grass”. Come to find out, it’s just Triticum aestivum, also known as common wheat or bread wheat.
Years ago, I grew oats for another long-haired cat I had. It seemed to help her pass fur balls. With Gunner’s heavy spring brushing just around the corner I figured I would give this a try to see if it helps with the digestion of loose fur he swallows during grooming.
After planting it, I kept it in the fridge germinator for about a week to let it grow about four inches tall before setting it out for him to enjoy.
It took him a few days to realize that it was meant for him. Once he figured that out he hasn’t looked back.
