This 10-gram package contains high-quality organic barley seeds, from which the soft-sprouted cat grass is an indispensable aid for every cat owner. Cats, especially long-haired and indoor purr-machines, inevitably ingest a significant amount of fur while grooming, which accumulates in the stomach as hairballs and can cause digestive problems. Consuming fresh cat grass stimulates your pet’s digestion and helps them safely expel accumulated hairballs naturally.
In addition to supporting digestion, growing this specialized grass offers an effective alternative for bored animals or those seeking greenery. This significantly reduces the risk of your cat chewing on toxic houseplants or outdoor vegetation treated with chemicals. Organic barley is safe, rich in vitamins, and has a taste cats enjoy.
Usage and Cultivation Instructions:
-
Sow the seeds in an even layer in a preferred pot or seed tray suitable for placement on a windowsill, balcony, or terrace.
-
Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, approximately a few millimeters thick.
-
Water the soil carefully (e.g., with a spray bottle) until it is uniformly and adequately moist, but not waterlogged.
-
Cover the pot with plastic film to retain moisture, and place it in a warm, dim location.
-
Once the seeds have germinated and the first green shoots appear, remove the plastic film and move the pot to a bright windowsill.
-
The grass is ready for your cat to eat when the shoots have grown to approximately 7 cm in height.
Tips and recommendations:
-
To accelerate germination, you may soak the seeds in room-temperature water for 12 hours before sowing.
-
Sow new seeds every 2–3 weeks in separate pots, ensuring your pet always has fresh, soft grass available.
-
Use a heavier pot, such as a ceramic one, for growing the grass, so your cat cannot easily tip it over while nibbling.
