If you’ve ever caught your cat nibbling on plants around the house, you’re not alone. Many cats naturally seek out greenery to chew on and that’s where cat grass comes in. Safe, easy to grow, and packed with benefits, cat grass is a simple way to support your cat’s wellbeing indoors.
At Aumann’s Building & Garden Supplies, cat grass is a popular pick for pet owners wanting a healthy treat their cats genuinely love.
What Is Cat Grass?
Cat grass is typically grown from safe cereal grasses such as wheat, barley, rye or oats. Unlike outdoor lawn grass or household plants (which can sometimes be unsafe), cat grass is specially grown to be pet-friendly and beneficial.
It’s perfect for indoor cats who don’t naturally have access to greenery.
Supports Healthy Digestion
One of the biggest benefits of cat grass is how it helps digestion. The natural fibre encourages movement through your cat’s digestive system and can assist with:
- reducing hairball build-up
- supporting smoother digestion
- helping cats clear indigestible material naturally
Many cats instinctively chew grass when their stomach feels unsettled, it’s part of their natural behaviour.
Provides Essential Nutrients
Cat grass contains nutrients that contribute to your cat’s overall health, including:
- folic acid (supports oxygen flow in the bloodstream)
- chlorophyll (helps freshen breath)
- natural fibre (supports gut health)
Think of it as a gentle, plant-based supplement your cat chooses themselves.
Encourages Natural Behaviour
Indoor cats especially benefit from enrichment activities. Having access to cat grass:
- satisfies chewing instincts
- reduces boredom
- supports mental stimulation
- offers a safe alternative to chewing houseplants
It’s a simple addition that can make a big difference to your cat’s daily routine.
Helps Protect Your Indoor Plants 🌿
If your cat likes sampling your houseplants, cat grass can redirect their attention to something safe and suitable instead. Many common indoor plants can be irritating or unsafe for pets — providing cat grass gives them a better option they actually prefer.
Freshens Breath Naturally
Because cat grass contains chlorophyll, it may help improve breath freshness over time. While it’s not a replacement for proper dental care, it’s a helpful natural bonus.
Easy to Grow at Home
One of the best things about cat grass is how simple it is to maintain. Just place it somewhere with light and keep it lightly watered. Within days, your cat has a fresh snack ready whenever they like.
It’s ideal for:
- indoor cats
- apartments
- homes without safe outdoor access
- curious kittens exploring their environment
