In France, most florists sell small tubs of "cat grass" which cats love, just a euro or so. I've never seen this in the UK, they are missing a trick, regular small-time trade, gets people used to coming in the shop etc.
- Renaud 5y agoDo you mean catnip? That's the best way to get them to eat grass safely and get high at the same time.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoCats don’t really eat catnip; cat grass is a different thing.
- dylan604 5y agoum, my cat wants to have a word with you. i grow fresh catnip outside, and my cat is a wake-n-bake type of cat. he wants his nip before his breakfast.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoInteresting. All I've personally seen is cats just obsessing over it, rubbing against it, snuggling with it, licking it, or completely ignoring it but not actually eating it. Live and learn!
- dylan604 5y agoit needs to be fresh. the dried stuff isn't tasy looking like the fresh green leafs I bought my single catnip plant at the same time as my herbs and veggies for this year's garden. the cat sniffed all of the plants honing in on the catnip.
- alchemism 5y agoThere is also sprouted-grass for cats which is sometimes also sold like a chia pet: add water and the cat grass (note: not its scientific name) sprouts and then the cats eat it.
- astura 5y agoCat grass is also a thing, literally grass that's safe for cat consumption. Catnip isn't a grass, it's in the mint family, beyond that, many cats don't actually consume the catnip, they also just rub on it and roll around in it. I have one cat that eats it, and one who just rolls around in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_grass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_grass

- melling 5y agoWhat exactly is cat grass? My cat eats grasses outside and I’d like to plant some for her
- jjgreen 5y agoJust regular grass in a small tub, same size as for watercress.
- HarryHirsch 5y agoThe one in the kits from the supermarket is typically wheat. But the spiderplant that our psycho on the interwebs is keeping his cat out of is actually nontoxic and cats like it.
- astura 5y agoUsually either Oatgrass, Barleygrass, Wheatgrass, or Ryegrass. In the pet store a suitable species will be labeled just "cat grass." You can buy seeds and you can buy it fully grown (and ready to eat)
