Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2003grazing cat
Hello. This is my first post to this group. I have a strictly house cat that loves her daily ration of grass. She'll go to the door and eagerly watch while I pull a couple of blades and bring them to the house. She is particular though (go figure). She only wants wide blades--not narrow ones. I am concerned about giving her parasites from outdoor grass. I've tried growing grass in indoor pots, but the blades are always very fine--even when tall. She's not interested. There must be something on the market that I can grow indoors for this grass connoisseur. Some kind of grass "Chia pet", perhaps. Any suggestions? >Hello. This is my first post to this group.

Some kind of grass "Chia pet", >perhaps. Any suggestions? It is considered impolite to separately post essentially the same message to multiple groups, especially if a question is asked because the people in one group don't see the other responses - this results in wasted duplicate efforts, and tends to tick off people who respond in one group and later discover that the message is multiple posted and they either have to deprive the other group's readers of possibly useful information or else repeat themselves. It is best to post a question to one group only, then, if no useful responses appear, to repost it in a revised form (mentioning that you didn't get a solution so you are asking the question in a different way in the new group, or if it seems appropriate to cross post just the question to multiple groups. In this case, you got a number of responses in rec.pets.cats.anecdotes, which is a less appropriate venue for the question than this group (after all, it's about cat stories, not about cat questions). I for one, would have preferred to respond here where it is completely on topic, but I don't multiple post. T.E.D.

If I, as the OP, who posted here first, which Ed did and got no replies, I'd be inclined to post elsewhere. You may believe that the other ng was a less appropriate venue to post, but that's where the responses came from - go figure? Cat people are cat people and I can't say as I know one, that would not offer a bit of OT advice. Which you did. However, I think what you said above to be inappropriate - seeing as we are all cat lovers and at times need help. >If I, as the OP, who posted here first, which Ed did and got no replies, I'd >be inclined to post elsewhere.

Seventeen minutes is hardly long enough to wait for replies before posting elsewhere. I think I'm annoyed because I was induced to post an off-topic response - one that would have been much more appropriate here, but since I work my group list in reverse alphabetical order (that has to do with the order certain non-cat groups appear in the list), I encountered the OT second message first.

Fair enough. > Hello. This is my first post to this group. I have a strictly house cat > that loves her daily ration of grass.

Neither my previous cat or present one ever suffered parasites as a result of eating grass from the great outdoor. But if you're concerned and would like to offer an indoor solution - try a spider plant. My previous cat had one of her own and loved it to death!! :c) We went through many of those during the winter months over the years. Judy > Hello. This is my first post to this group.

Some kind of grass "Chia pet", > perhaps. Any suggestions? Not sure where you are, but here in UK, almost all pet shops keep Cat Grass (seeds in a dish really) that you can grow at home. I must warn you that cats absoultely love it, in fact so much so, that mine 4 wouldn;t even let it grow, they were in the dish and messing it up before it had a chance :) So make sure you keep it somewhere where cats dont; have access for a few days while it grows.
