Maybe some cat grass so they have something they can eat.

So this actually backfired on us. Once the cat grass was finished, my dumbass cat decided to test every plant to check if they taste like cat grass.

You can buy wheatgrass seeds so you always have a new one growing.

My mother planted some of that in our garden when I was young. Literally the next day the entire plant was gone and the cat was sprawled out on the grass baked out of his tiny mind

Cat grass (despite the name lol) is a different thing to catnip (which is the one that gets them spaced out). Cat grass is just a type of regular grass that you can grow indoors for your cat to eat.

Outdoor cats will eat grass to help their digestion, so it's important to have something safe for indoor cats to eat otherwise they will just eat anything green and that could be bad for them.

It's easy enough to grow from seed or you can get it already growing in a pot.

Hah, my own instance doesn't show that. It's a little surprise for me when someone mentions it

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

It shows up in voyager

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like catnip, not wheat grass.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was! I now know that catgrass is a separate thing, I thought it was just another name for catnip

Happy cake day.

So catnip is just edibles? 😂

Cat grass is just for fibres and vitamins (and make them puke hairballs), not the drug one.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

It never makes my cat puke, just keeps her poops regular

Catnip is more like ecstasy, is my understanding
