Any thoughts on this? I see a few people doing this, and I'm constantly trying to make the inside environment more interesting for my cats.

Yeah if I do this, I'm going to have to grow a large amount, and the ones meant for cats are really small.I keep wanting to grow some wheat grass. I looked at the bulk foods section for whole unhulled wheat, but can't find any. Haven't had much luck at garden centers either, so I'll probably have to mail order. Those little kits of "cat grass" in pet stores are terribly expensive. I'm thinking of growing a baking pan full, and I expect it won't live long and would need to be replanted frequently.
Interested in other peoples' thoughts on this as well. Particularly anyone who grows grass indoors.
They should have bulk grains. I've gotten "cat grass seeds" there before. I've used whole oats and wheat, haven't tried barley or rye though.Haven't checked Whole Foods.
Haha! Isn't that the truth? That's why I wanted organic seeds for "humans", not a "cat grass mix". I can cook and eat the organic wheat berries if the cats don't appreciate the grass. Of course, then they would probably then be wanting in my bowl of wheat cereal.I tried one of those cat grass growers and it grew the most beautiful green grass. Of course, Ailish looked at it with that, What am I supposed to do with this? look they give when you get them something. She would rather jump up on the dresser and munch rose thorns or chew on old dried up plants.
I SWEAR they know when you buy something for them and purposely give it the cold shoulder. They always want things that aren't for them.
I've grown it in a "small" litter box. It's like a 9x12x4 inch pan that was $4 and in coconut coir instead of potting soil in the front yard on a milk crate to keep ants out. Third time I did it those squirrels went nuts on it that the human put out sprouts for them before it got a half inch tall.
Do they guarantee their "non-puking formula"?Well, I'm WAY late here but since I dragged out the bag today, I wanted to mention that the Sprout People have a cat grass that's comprised of wheat, oats, rye, barley and flax.
It is a special non-puking formula, also good for rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs, iguanas, turtles and many more of our other-than-human friends, and all the seeds in Kat Grass come from sources which are certified organic.
