How to Grow Outdoor Potted Cat Grass

Cats enjoy feasting on grass, but the foliage outdoors often lacks nutrients and contains harmful pesticides and herbicides. Most indoor plants are also harmful to cats. Feed your furry pets potted cat grass. Cat grass contains vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to a cat’s diet. It contains a combination of rye grass, wheat and oat. Grow cat grass indoors at any time of the year or place it outside in frost-free weather to feed your outdoor feline friends.
