It takes five to seven days for cat grass seeds to germinate.Provide SunlightKeep the container in a bright room. Cat grass needs light to grow but doesn’t require direct sunlight. Since it is grown for a short amount of time, a sunny window is usually sufficient. Harvesting Cat GrassOnce the grass is about 4” tall, it is mature enough for your cat to start eating. Place the container of cat grass where your cats can get to it, but apart from other houseplants. Keeping cat grass separate can help signal that the grass is for eating when the other plants aren’t safe for nibbling. Young grass is the sweetest, so you might notice your cat has a lot of interest in the grass at first. When the cat grass starts changing color or dying off, it’s time to plant a new batch of seeds.Why Do Cats Eat Grass?Your cat can’t tell you exactly why they enjoy cat grass so much, but there are some theories as to why you’ll find these little carnivores munching like cows. Benefits of Cat Grass1 - Fiber Cat grass can provide fiber. While cats don’t need a lot of fiber, it can help move things along in their digestive tract. Cat grass can also act as a laxative and help push out hairballs. 2 - Vitamins Some vitamins found in cat grass are folic acid, vitamin A and vitamin D. Folic acid is an essential vitamin for cats that helps with digestion and cell growth. Vitamin D is needed to help the body absorb calcium. Unlike humans, cats don’t convert sunshine into vitamin D so they need it in their food. 3 - Chlorophyll The bright green chlorophyll in cat grass can help their breath smell better. 4 - Mental stimulation Cats are naturally curious. They love sniffing new things and finding fun ways to interact with their world. The smell and look of grass is interesting to them, and they will want to explore. Munching on grass is different from a bowl of dry kibble. And it can be entertaining for them to tear and pull at as well. And who knows, they may even hide behind it to stalk their prey. 5 - Tasty Treat As a carnivore, cats don’t need grass to survive, especially when they are fed well-balanced cat food. But the sweet taste of oat grass is a change of pace from the flavors of cat food. It’s a healthy treat they enjoy, and you don’t have to worry about it.
