Cat Grass is a Houseplant's Best Friend

I have two cats, Thisbe and Sebastian. Thisbe loves plants as much as I do. She will sit next to my houseplants and brush her face against the leaves ever so lightly. I have also witnessed her kissing the blooms on my orchids. She is pretty gentle with them, except for the occasional munching on leaves. She is particularly fond of the gardenia. Here is where the cat grass comes in. She will happily eat her grass and not eat my houseplants. She lays her head on it and will just sit and stare at it for hours. I got a bag of seeds from the pet store and plant about a table spoon at a time in a small pot. I put it in a dark place to sprout and they grow for a few weeks before withering and then I start over again. Not only does the grass save my houseplants, it helps with her digestion as she is known to produce quite a few hair balls.
