Cat eating grassCats love to nibble on grass, and home-grown grass is especially nice for indoor or city cats that never have the opportunity to eat fresh grass. To grow your own wheat cat grass:

1. Purchase wheat-berry grains at a health food market. They can be purchased in bulk and stored for up to one year in a dry, cool, dark place. 

2. Sprinkle the grains over a quality, rich soil and place in a sunny window. 

3. Water or mist the grains lightly each day. Soon your seeds will sprout and develop into grass shoots.

Jenny -- Sounds like the grass you bought was already harvested, but if you want to grow cat grass follow the tips above and use a rich soil.

I bought some already grown cat grass and the plant container it is in doesn't have any dirt. Is there suppose to have dirt, if yes would kind?

Cats can eat oat grass, wheat grass, barley grass, and rye grass all of which are 'cereal grasses'. You can find combo packs or individual seed packets for sale. Each different type of grass is grown the same way. Fill a pot with quality soil and sprinkle the seeds on top, lightly covering with soil. Keep the seeds moist. I use small spray bottle to mist water the grass. Grass usually pops up in 4 days. There's nothing like a green, healthy cat grass treat...especially if you let your cat eat it in the glow of the sun.
