They quit smoking for that grass this is good
Serious question: What do you do to keep a steady supply of cat grass?
I have two cats and they will destroy a full planter like in the picture in about 3 days. I really can’t go to the petstore to buy a new disposable package of grass twice a week, neither time, income or the environment will bear that.
I’ve tried planting oats, rye and barley myself, but a) don’t get it as dense, b) it’s surprisingly hard to get seeds in the 1 kg range, and c) my beasties will murder any fledgling grass even as the fresh, healthy, fully grown planters watch in horror.
What do you all do?

I’ll have a go at that, thank you!
Edit with update: A fistful of outside grass seems to have been appreciated, but they are grazing less than usual, might be because it’s harder than the oats they usually get, or just because they haven’t gotten used to it yet. It seems to have done enough for them though, thanks for the tip!
My Sav (F7) asks to be let outside to our small back garden to eat some grass every morning. All I need to do is call her and she comes back in.
we used to grow rye grass in a small flat planter but she stopped eating that and prefers the grass in the garden.
Check to see if your grocery store sells wheat grass in the organics section! It’s a much better deal too, costs less and there is more grass that is always healthy and fresh. Sorry still bad for the environment I don’t have a solution there, but the plastic is less substantial than the pet store ones at least.
Or I guess you could buy a ton of dollar store mini planters to grow in and start rotating them for kitty and leave them outside otherwise. That’s a lot to feed the grass habit lol
I think I may be lucky, they only like to eat the tips from time to time. So if I don’t forget watering the grass I can keep it for a month or more.
Wow, mine will happily graze it down all the way.
Well it is called catgrass after all, not ignoredbycatgrass.
Oh that’s what I call mine.
