Title: Grass
Post by: Jules_s on March 09, 2010, 22:32:26 PM

As some of you will know, I share my house with two house Bengals (Teoh and Howard)

Oh, and Deborah too  :Luv:

Now, before we met Teoh we used to buy fresh flowers in weekly to make the house more homely...Then Teoh arrived, and he took an alarming attraction to said flowers....IE he ate them/wouldn't stop licking them/chewing them.

Not being sure of a Bengals cats resistance to chomping down lillies (the butter will eat anything from what I can see) we stopped buying flowers  :)

Then I noticed some 'cat grass' in pets at home, read a bit about the grass being part of a cats diet and proceeded to buy/grow some....

The result? Gratuitious Bengal pics of Teoh follow  :innocent:

Hmmmm, what's this? Howard walked off soon afterwards  :innocent:

Ok, 'let me scent it first' says Teoh.....

Nom Nom Nom...

'I feel like I've ruined my diet plan now'.......lol like the chunker had one in the first place  :evillaugh:

I still love the fella though, even if he is snoring like a train next to me on the sofa right now  :Luv2:

Gorgeous boys but wait for the retching sound moments before he deposits it on your cream carpets  :evillaugh: If I see Riley munching on grass outside I leave him out there til he brings it up  :-[

Memphy has practically gone Vegan since I grew him some grass ... He just LOVES it.

We've had no upchucking at all and he's eaten it several times a day for the past few weeks.

glad to see they are enjoying their grass - great pics.  My Bonnie loves her Cat Grass in winter but in Summer I bring some in from the garden for her.  :Luv2:

I'm going to try cat grass again, it wasn't successful first time round but Dave has taken to eating one of the house plants in the new place :tired:

No upchucking though, not that I've found anyway :shify: :evillaugh:

Cat grass is oat shoots though - different to grass in the garden although I'm sure it does the job. Alice never throws it up and sometimes it makes her bleed when it comes out the other end .

I have grown grass from wheat seeds too, Mark - though mine like coarse couch grass the best, when it is fresh and green in the summer
