...yep, it's this wheat grass which is supposed to help their digestion. (Plus they really like it). At first I wondered if I wasn't sending a mixed message, trying to get them to leave all the other plants alone, yet encouraging them to eat this...
...so I figured it would help if I cut the grass and put it in a dish. Gizmo was interested right away...
...but Bentley needed convincing...
...."Okay, just a taste."...
...once the grass was well-rooted, I decided to just set the planter down and let them "pick their own". They both enjoyed it more, and really didn't seem to uproot the grass too much.
Although it's taken awhile, I think Bentley is getting used to me being "the human" instead of my son. He actually comes up and lays his head on my leg when I'm on the couch.
Heh...he seems so comfortable, you could even say he likes me!
As for Gizmo, no hard sell...anybody with cat food is his best friend! Submitted to Friday Ark.

What a handsome fellow
Why thank you!
Hey, I'm a white cat, too. My human tried getting me to eat cut grass for awhile, but nothing is as good for gaking up as something eaten from the pot.
Quasi-Heh...I know what you mean. Me and my buddy Gizmo like to chase each other through the house when she's asleep, and chew on "her" plants so we can puke big time!
My cats love that wheat grass. I grow it for them indoors starting in January, but by March they are so desperate for a nice green place to sit, they start sitting and laying in it (see Fiona in wheat grass) instead of eating it! Well, who can blame them? I'm pretty ready for spring by March, too!

Heh...Fiona looks like she wants a larger "indoor lawn", but is making the best of it! These two cats would do the same if I had a bigger container, but I actually hide this from them until it grows out enough for them to "harvest". They've never been outdoors, either. (They act like they want to go though, so I may try a harness and leash setup and see what happens. Bet it won't go well. ;-)
