Cats chew grass - I don't think it's really clear why, may be something
to do with digestion - often seems to stimulate them to regurgitate
furballs.
If they don't have grass available, then they will often turn to
houseplants instead.
So it's suggested that indoor cats should have a tray of grass
available.
Not that I've ever known one that actually eats the stuff sold as cat grass.
Yes, I can confirm from a position of considerable experience in this
area, cats DO NOT EAT cat grass (Avena Sativa), for which I once paid
about 3 quid for about a seed tray's worth. Catnip, on the other hand,
I intend to investigate.
Niniane seems to like Homebase Shady Lawn. Never seen Merlin eating
grass. What they like is for the grass to grow about 1ft long - the
length is probably more important than the kind of grass.
