Cat Grass

No, it's not reefer for cats. Cat grass is similar to yard grass; supposedly it helps their diet. I only have sun in my apartment for a few hours a day, so a friend grows it for me in little planters. I bring it home and let my cats nosh on it. Then I have to put the planter on the windowsill and block it off from access by the cats so it recovers a little.

I brought a planter back yesterday, filled with grass about six inches high. Today,the grass shoots that survived the initial devouring are about an inch high and some were pulled out. One of the cats ate a bit too much, I suppose, because there was a grass/food/hairball on the floor to be cleaned up. I'm just glad it wasn't yocked up on my furniture, but since I spread towels on the living room sofa and chairs, as well as my bed, it would probably have been no big deal.

Getting a bunch of old towels to spread on the furniture was the best thing I've done. It keeps the furniture relatively clean and I wash the towels weekly.
