Small treatGenerally suitable when plain and properly prepared

Why it matters

Cats Protection says it is fine to make grass available, although cats do not need vegetables added to a complete diet.

How to serve it

Use a product grown for cats and keep it free from pesticides, fertiliser and mould. Do not confuse cat grass with toxic houseplants.
