I think it is super important for them to be able to connect with things from the natural world. Look into Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, any concentration of a toxin, such as pesticides, in the tissues of tolerant organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain. If your cats are eating this, you should consider not using that toxic soil. Since the cats are laying in that soil and then grooming and licking themselves, they are consuming it. This can cause severe neurological problems and shorten their lives dramatically. When I make my grass beds, I use worm castings and coco coir.

Coco coir. 2 inches. Sow seeds. Water lightly. Cover with about 1 to 1 half inch coco coir. Water lightly. Then pat down gently to offer a firm bed for the roots to take. Much better and faster then potting soil. You can have grass ready in a matter of days this way. As the coco coir allows for better aeration to the roots. And drainage. As well as water retention. Also. I've never soaked my seeds. Straight into the mix. Hope this helps you out.

One nice thing about feline project assistants. If you drop something, ie a screw, if you watch them they will look immediately to where it fell. This can save a lot of searching. You have to look as soon as it leaves your fingers, or you may miss the clue.

this is the method for growing wheatgrass that I feel works best ( works every time for me ) - soak seeds in cool water for 12 hours - spread over about an inch of vermiculite (try not to overlap) - put in the dark for about 2-3 days (in a closet or some other windowless place) -when it starts to sprout to about an 1.5 inches tall, move to indirect light -mist once a day, water only a little, but every day voila!

I just put the seeds in the pots I plan to grow them in and place those pots in a container with water {self watering method) and just switch them out every couple of days. I plant 4 pots every week for my cats (13) so they will always have cat grass. For grass beds, I've commandeered a 3' x 3' shallow pan which I punched holes using a thick nail and hammer. I use cardboard to divide the tray in half, and grow half of the tray every week. With the the half that's grown out, I will take it out of the tray and place that grass in my cat's catio. If you have a balcony, and your landlord is cool, you can build a catio and use this method. I did when my wife and I lived in an apartment. It's easier now that we have a home with a backyard.

Loved this vid and was so excited to grow it for my cat! Unfortunately the seeds completely molded after two days :( was so upset but hey that’s the reality of being a beginner planter. My question is, do you think I overwatered the seeds?( I saw some other cat grass videos where they soaked the seeds so I kind of did an in between) I also covered the bowl they were in but didn’t close the lid fully, maybe that’s why? Or maybe the seeds were just simply bad? Going to try again today and follow along to this exactly

All of that depends. In my old apartment. It was very dry so they lasted maybe two weeks with watering when dry. However, my cats also dug at it pretty aggressively so it didn't really have a fighting chance. If they were just laying in it and I had a more bright/humid environment, I'd have to water less and it would last longer.

Yes, organic soil tends to have a lot of fungus gnats. I am mixing my own soil...coco coir (an sustainable alternative to peat moss), coco husks or orchid bark, perlite or pumice, and earthworm castings...the latter is a natural fertilizer that does not burn the roots. I had a hard time finding perlite or peatmoss at big box hardwood stores that did not have Miracle Gro fertilizer in it! You may not need all those ingredients for growing cat grass, however--I think just coco coir (or peat moss ) and some earthworm castings or organic fertilizer should be fine. Just ordered my seeds! Good health begins in the soil!

This isn't meant to be taken in a bad way, just informing you! Miracle-gro is extremely harmful for the environment, YOU (if you consume your plants), and ESPECIALLY for your pets who are eating the cat grass. Google the harmful effects of miracle-gro (even their organic line) compared to other organic soils and you can find a lot of information. If you're gardening, you might as well do it organically, sustainably, and in a way that will help not just you, but the planet. Otherwise, cute video and I'll definitely be trying this! :)

If you need to make holes in the bottom of a plastic tray?…. You can heat up a screwdriver or a nail on the stove and you can make your holes for drainage

I think, I’ll try this again. Last time my cats didn’t nap in it. But my cat who has access to the garage is obsessed with lying in a bit of soil and mulch in a wheelbarrow.

You dont need to use soil to grow Wheatgrass. Just thought I'd say since you said your cats dig in the dirt

My cat has destroyed one of my plants. She loves laying on it and eating it. Thank goodness it's not poisonous. Just got the cat grass seeds in the mail and hoping she will like it.

They stopped using them a while back, so I transitioned to a smaller self-watering pot for them for the winter

Well its cat grass. But that is a conversation for you and your vet. My cats do not get 24/7 access. Only daytime when the grass is fully grown
