Keep Off The Grass

Our indoor cat Gary doesn't get outside too much.  We have a harness and a leash for her, but she hates them, so her outdoor excursions are always twenty minutes or less.  Her activities while outside are few; her main goal is to locate long grass and eat as much of it as possible.  Gary loves grass!

We bought her a pot of cat grass last year for $1.99, and she promptly murdered it.  For a little cat, she doesn't seem to have a limit on how much she can ingest.  She will simply have it all, right now, thank you.

This year we bought cat grass seeds for $1.99, and she is already on her second round.  To give her more surface area for her grass, I re-used a take out container as a planter/greenhouse.  This way the cat grass is both "green" and frugal.  Sounds good to me!  Here's what I did:

Supplies:

1. Planter/greenhouse (this is from Swiss Chalet take-out)

2. Potting Soil

3. Cat grass seeds

Growing cat grass:

 1. Put potting soil into the container

2. Make holes for lots of seeds

3. Plant lots of seeds

4. Water

5. Put lid on container and place in window

Cat grass sprouts.

Cat grass!

Now that this batch is fully grown, I am going to start a new round.  That way, by the time Gary completely destroys this current batch, she'll have a new one she can start on!
