Here are five special
treats for your kitty cat. Of course, everyone knows cats love
catnip, but that's only the beginning. Cats need greens all year
long, and when it's winter or the lawn isn't available, every cat
loves grass. In fact, cats need to chew and eat some grass to aid
their digestion. So simply sow these easy-to-grow seeds in pots and
you'll have a ready banquet for your cat, whenever he or she needs
it.
1. Catnip. This hardy perennial-a member of the mint family- grows
easily from seed, and, as you know, just a few leaves will send most
cats into ecstasy. With a whole pot growing, you can treat your cat
with a sprig just for fun anytime. (Plant some outside for a
permanent supply.) Packet is 300 mg.
2, 3, and 4. Three Favorite Grain Grasses: Oats, Annual Rye Grass
and Wheat. Plant these three in separate pots, and see which your
cat prefers. All three sprout quickly with the tender, young grass
shoots cats love. These three will give your cat somewhat different
flavors. (Of course, cats' interest in these grasses are quite
different than our own. While we wait to harvest the grain heads
that form later from these food crops, cats particularly love the
first green grassy shoots.) As they chew the grass away, more will
appear. Packets are 2 g. each.
5. Lettuce. Is your cat a salad lover? Many are. In fact, common
garden lettuce is a big cat favorite, recommended by many
veterinarians. It's simply another easy-to-grow plant that happens
to satisfy a cat's need for fresh green leaves. As your cat "grazes"
over the pot of sprouting lettuce, more and more leaves will appear.
Packet is 400 mg.
How to Grow your Kitty Cat Garden: Use any containers such as pots
or cans, and good, loose soil. Lightly cover the seed in each pot,
and keep moist. As seed sprouts, set pots either outside in good
weather or in a windowsill for plenty of sun. Water as needed as
seedlings grow. Once plants are somewhat established, put pots where
cat can enjoy them.
