Cat Grass

Cat Grass

Cat Grass is a fast-growing, cool-season grass commonly grown indoors for cats to nibble and enjoy. Most commercially available cat grass is a blend of young cereal grasses such as Wheatgrass, Oat grass, and Barley grass. The soft, upright blades are bright green, narrow, and tender, forming a lush tufted clump that adds fresh texture and vibrant colour to indoor spaces.

Easy to grow and quick to establish, cat grass thrives in bright indirect light and prefers lightly moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering will keep the foliage fresh and succulent, while trimming encourages dense new growth. It performs beautifully in containers on sunny windowsills, patios, or protected garden areas.

Growing to approximately 10–20 cm in height, cat grass has a neat, compact habit that makes it ideal for indoor pots and decorative planters. Its soft foliage is highly appealing to cats and is often grown as a natural enrichment plant to encourage chewing and play.

With its fresh green appearance, rapid growth, and pet-friendly appeal, cat grass is perfect for households wanting a simple, attractive indoor plant that also provides a natural treat for cats.
