I'll definately have a go at growing some.  I didn't realise cats needed to eat grass! hopefully it will stop the Elf from trying to eat my chives this year!

LOL dawn..sorry not laughing at your panic but yes cats tongues come WAY out..when you intubate them you have to fully pull out the tongue.
also the foamy stuff you spoke of is common if they have something in or around the top of their trachea stuck.

I too have known a fair few cats with grass blades stuck, they can get lodged underneath the soft palate and the cat just cant get rid of it so they need a ga and us to gently get it out..howver given the hundreds of thousands of cats that eat grass im sure most of them are ok.

the problems with them eating grass or leaves..they then come in and hack it up all over your floor  >:(

Or it gets stuck in their noses like my coworkers cat did, cost her £300 to have a blade of grass removed.

Thankfully my Lirael can't stand grass, or anything remotely dirty.

I got cat grass from Woolworths this week. You get loads in a pack for £1.60 and it's BOGOF at the moment - it's on the rack with all the other seeds. the Brand is "Mr Fothergill's". I think cat grass is the wider stuff. When I give willow grass from the garden, it's quite fine and sometimes she doesn't upchuck with it  :evillaugh:

I used to get those little tubs of cat grass to grow for mine and one thought Id ask at the local garden centre if you could buy the seeds as I would then put them in a big tub to grow them. Sadly to poor girl got very confused and ended up trying to sell me turf squares so I could grass over my balcony  :Crazy:
Now I dont have any out door access at all and as the cats never ate the grass anyway I have to rely on indoor cat and hairball biscuits

Tab, you can buy the seeds in somewhere like Homebase (or of course get them from CP as Ela said) - they are with the seeds for veg, etc all on little hooks - thats where I got ours - 60p for LOADS! we still have loads in a drawer  :)

Ours are indoor too but they ate it out of a little planter - we used to leave it on the window sill (one of the ones they didnt go on) until it got long enough for them to eat - doesnt take long!

defurrum works well too though, ours love those!

As preciously advised you can get the seed (the type cats like) free from Cats Protection HQ, It would be nice if you send a SAE to them.

What do you do when your cat refuses to eat grass... I have had all sorts in the house for Lexy and she just ignores it...

Awwww  :Luv:

Ours ate the grass so vigorously it went right down to stubs in the soil!  :rofl:
