Cats Can Be Seen Everywhere And All The Time When You're Totally. How To Grow Wheat Grass For Cats I am a houseplant and gardening enthusiast with an equally enthusiastic cat, so I grow wheatgrass for her to save my plants!

Fresh wheatgrass keeps Lucy out of my potted plants! Suzanne Bennett

Wheatgrass Is Healthy for Cats and Cheap to Grow

My cat, Lucy, loves fresh greenery, and she has made short work of a good many plants. When Lucy goes after a plant, she tears up the leaves, knocks it over, pulls all the soil out of the pot, and strews it far and wide. For this reason, I've had to set up all my plants in areas where they can be behind a closed door when I'm not there to supervise. Even so, occasionally Lucy gets shut in with the plants and mayhem ensues.

I wanted to give her an alternative, so I looked into grass-growing kits for cats and found that they are outrageously expensive. For $10 or more, you get a small plastic tray and a handful of seed. The cat enjoys it for a few days and then it's gone. Then one day, when I was doing research for an article on growing sprouts, I hit upon the idea of growing wheatgrass for Lucy. You probably already have almost everything you need for this project. Here's what I figured out.

The only thing you have to buy specially is the big bag of wheat grass seed. Suzanne Bennett

Reuse Veggie Packaging to Make Your Wheatgrass Trays

Supplies

Growing wheatgrass is an excellent way to reuse the little tubs that are used as mushroom packaging. You'll need two.

Styrofoam veggie trays* make good drainage trays after watering. Use the kind that veggies come in, not meat. Styrofoam trays that have held meat may harbor dangerous bacteria. *Update, November 2021: Actually, I have found that the Styrofoam tray is unnecessary. I just allow the water to run through the holes in the bottom of the inner tub before placing it in the outer tub. Doing this encourages the roots to grow in a way that holds the grass in place so kitty can't pull the whole thing out of the tub!

A single, half-size paper towel, cut in half makes your growing medium. No messy soil.

A piece of plastic wrap(or a clear plastic bag) keeps moisture in for the first couple of days.

You'll also need scissors and some sort of sharp implement to make holes in one of the mushroom tubs.

I use the tip of a heated awl to poke four holes in the corners of the inner tub. 1 / 2

1. Make Drainage Holes in One of the Mushroom Tubs

You'll need one mushroom tub to plant your seed. Begin by poking holes in the bottom of the tub to allow excess water to drain out. I use a heated awl for this purpose because I have found that using a cold implement just tears up the container. They are a little bit fragile.

Be careful using a heated implement. Make sure it has a handle that will protect you against accidental burns. Set it on a hard, non-flammable surface (like the top of your stove or in your kitchen sink) to cool off completely before putting it away.

Once you've made your drainage holes, cut your half-sized paper towel in half and line the bottom of the tub with one half.

Sow a handful of wheat grass seed on the paper towel. 1 / 3

2. Prepare Your Growing Medium and Sow Your Seed

Sprinkle a handful of seed over the piece of paper towel to result in a single layer of seed completely covering the towel. Put the other half towel over the seed and press it down.

Gently run water from the tap over the seed. I usually let it half fill the tub and then just set it in the sink to allow the excess to run out. Don't tip the tub to hurry the drainage because this will displace the seed. You want to keep it in a single layer.

Water generously and gently. Allow water to drain out gradually. 1 / 2

3. Water the Seed, Cover With Plastic Wrap, and Set Aside to Germinate

Once most of the excess water has drained out of the tub, set it on your Styrofoam tray to prevent dripping.

Cover the tub lightly with plastic wrap, or place tub and all into a clear plastic bag, to hold moisture in.

Put the tub in a warm area with bright, indirect sunlight to germinate. Run water over the seed and allow it to drain every day. You should see sprouts within a day or two.

Days 1 and 2 Day #1: You can barely see the sprouted seeds through the paper towel. 1 / 2

4. Water Daily and Give Your Sprouts Some Head Room

Every day, take the tub to the sink and run fresh water through the seeds/sprouts. This provides them with the water they need and washes away any fungus that may try to grow.

On the first day, you'll be able to see that the seeds have just started to sprout. On the second day, you'll see green. This means you can remove the top towel so the grass can start to grow upward.

Leave the plastic in place for another day or two.

Days 3 and 4 Day #3: Remove the plastic and continue watering daily. 1 / 2

5. When It Looks Like Grass, Remove the Plastic

Once green grass starts to grow, remove the plastic so that it can get tall. You'll want to let it grow for another two or three days before you give it to your cat. If you want, you can move the tub to an area that gets some direct sunlight. This will encourage it to grow a little faster and produce more chlorophyll.

Continue to wash water through the container every day to water the grass and prevent fungal growth.

Day 5 and 6 Day #5: This grass is just about ready, but I want it a little taller. 1 / 2

6. Now It's Ready to Meet Kitty

Your grass should be tall enough to give to your cat on the fifth day, but I like to give it another day to get a little taller. Before I present it to my cat, I set the planting tub into the second tub (the one without drainage holes). This prevents leaks and protects the roots, which grow out through the holes.

Lucy comes running when a fresh batch of wheat grass is ready. Suzanne Bennett

Start a Fresh Batch Right Away

I like to keep two batches of wheat grass growing at once. It's a good idea to start the second one three days after starting the first one so that you'll always have fresh grass ready. I alternate the pots of grass every day to give them a break from Lucy and make them last longer.

I let her keep one pot to chew on during my waking hours. Before I go to bed, I take that pot away and water it. The next morning I put out the alternate pot so that the one that's been chewed on can have a rest.

Doing it this way makes each pot last about a week. When one really begins looking ragged, I just let Lucy keep it until it's destroyed. I dump the grass in my compost bin, wash out the pot and start over again.

This Grass Is Ready to Be Retired This grass is a couple of weeks old altogether. 1 / 2

The instinct of cats is to nibble on grass, or anything green really, to supplement their diet with vital nutrients, aid in digestion, and reduce hairballs. Many cat owners may be tempted to let their cat go outside and eat grass from the yard, but many people treat their yards with chemicals and pesticides, which can make your cat ill or even kill it.

Whether you’re just looking for cat grass seed, or a full kit to get you started, we have reviews of the 10 Best Cat Grass Seeds and Kits in 2021 for you.

Once the water is absorbed by the soil, remove about a teaspoon of soil from each compartment, add the seeds, and then cover them back up. In a few days, you’ll see sprouts and before you know it, you’ll have a planter full of grass for your cat. This kit comes with a decorative wood box that is weighty enough to keep cats from knocking it over or pulling the cat grass out of the container.

The container is also lightweight, and your cat may knock it over or pull the grass right out of the shallow pot. The yield on this container is roughly enough for one cat so if you have multiple cats, you may want to try a different product with a larger container.The Cat Ladies Cat Grass Kit & Decorative Wood Planter is our premium choice product for a cat grass planter.

Watch your cat carefully to make sure they don’t overeat the grass and make themselves sick. Overwatering may result in mold or root rot so follow the planting instructions carefully.

The Cat Ladies Organic Pet Grass Grow Kit, 3 count , is the perfect cat grass grow kit for the very hungry feline. Cats that love grass are constantly munching away at plantings, often leaving pet owners with empty pots and very annoyed kitties complaining that their favorite treat is gone. This kit comes with three bags so you can start growing your bags a week or more apart, so you never run of out grass. Simply place the soil disc in the bottom of the bag, add water, sprinkle on the seeds, and grass will sprout within a few days. The GMO-free seeds are a blend of organic rye, oats, barley, wheat, and flaxseed so your cat has a choice of tasty grass blades to choose from when he’s hungry. The bags are tall, and your cat may have trouble eating the grass if you do not let it grow tall enough past the top edge of the bag. If you want shorter growth for your cat, transfer the soil and grass to a small pot for easy access before the blades get too tall. If your cat tends to carry things around that it finds interesting, you should transfer these bags to heavier containers, so you don’t wind up with dirt all over your home.For those that don’t want to take the time to grow their own grass, Pet Greens Pre-Grown Organic Cat Grass Plant for Indoor Cats is delivered fresh right to your door. These three packs of wheatgrass take the work out of planting and anxiously waiting to see if your seeds sprout.

Sit the grass in one inch of water twice a week for about an hour each time to keep it green and growing. The company ships the plants within two days to ensure freshness upon arrival. If there is an issue with the grass upon delivery, they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee and will work with you to replace any grass not up to snuff. The containers are plastic so if you may need to put the container in a sturdier pot or replant it to prevent your cat from knocking it over.The Microgreen Pros Cat Grass for Indoor Cats Kit comes with everything you need to grow a large amount of wheatgrass quickly for your cat. The kit comes with the wooden planter, pre-measured soil, a reusable BPA-free plastic tray liner, certified organic seeds, a spray bottle, and instructions on how to grow the grass. The plastic liner keeps mold and bacteria growth from invading the wood planter to keep your grass healthy and free of mold. The company also offers refill kits so you can use this planter again. You can also use other seeds with the planter if you choose to replant. If you don’t know if your cat likes grass, you may want to start with a smaller kit to see if this kit is worth the investment. Make sure to leave a little bit of soil to the side when you plant the seeds to cover them with to ensure proper growth. Handy Pantry Cat Grass Seeds are for cat owners that want to grow their own cat grass without a kit. The 12-ounce pouch contains non-GMO organic wheatgrass seeds. You will need your own pot and organic soil, but the seeds do come with instructions for germination.

Owners with multiple cats should have plenty of seed to plant a large planter full of cat grass. Handy Pantry also offers a Cat Grass Seeds Blend comprised of oats, barley, rye, and wheat if your cat likes more than just wheatgrass to chew on. The company does have some cat grass kits if you’re a first-time planter and need some assistance in learning the cat grass ropes.We included the Catit Senses 2.0 Cat Grass Planter on this list because it solves a problem many owners have with cat grass- their cats pull the grass out of its container and get dirt all over the house. This planter is designed to be low and features a deep planting bowl with a special grid cover to keep your cat from digging in the grass. The planter can’t be tipped over and it comes with vermiculate instead of soil to plant your seeds. The Catit Senses Cat Grass Planter does not normally come with seeds, but they can be purchased separately. The link we have provided includes the planter along with a three-pack of seeds. Do not overload the planter with seeds as they sprout quickly and too much seed will result in the grid cover being pushed off by the growing grass. Make sure to not overwater the grass so you don’t end up with root rot.

Buyer’s Guide: Selecting The Best Cat Grass Seeds & Kits

What Is Cat Grass?

Cat grass is a variety of different grass seeds that you can grow indoors in a pot or other growing container to help satiate your cat’s need for greenery. The most popular grass for cats is wheatgrass, but you can also find oat, barley, rye, and flax seeds on their own or as blends. Some cats may prefer only one type of grass, but others may prefer a blend of the various types. It will likely take some trial and error when you first start growing cat grass to figure out what your cat likes to eat. We recommend starting with one of the smaller kits, so you don’t waste money on a large kit with grass your cat won’t eat. Once you have figured out what your furry feline likes best, you can then purchase seed or a larger kit to grow their new favorite treat.

What Are the Benefits of Cat Grass?

Cat grass is a supplemental treat added to cats’ diets to aid in digestion. Grass is a good source of fiber and adds roughage to their diet. It contains many beneficial vitamins and minerals, as well as chlorophyll which helps to replenish blood cells. It has the added benefit of reducing hairballs in cats and can even help to freshen your cat’s breath. Cats think of grass as a delicious treat and growing some in your home will help deter them from eating your houseplants, some of which can be toxic to cats.
