What would be some safe edible plants for my indoor cat?


Are you looking for plants for the cats or house plants for your
enjoyment that won't harm your cats?


Good point. The subject line indicates something along the line of
kitty grass many cats enjoy. Wheatgrass? Oats? I would be interested
in reading about how a cat 'utilizes' these salad bars. Many ads for
wheatgrass planting show a light plastic base with a nice crop of
undisturbed grass. My cat would reduce that to a yard-square area of
upended plants and scattered planter mix in a few seconds.


Back in the day I used a big pot that wouldn't get up ended and the cats
would graze. Outside mine have enjoyed winter rye and oats (although the
oats got bit pretty early this year.) And of course the catnip gets
mauled regularly.

verbena, rudbeckia and celosia)
