We are in the midst of our first cat grass experience here, and it isn't going so well. I got it to grow, and Nathan likes it--the problem is he can't get it out of the potting soil.
It's only about an inch and a half to two inches tall, and it's planted in a little plastic container (I bought one of those kits at my pet supply store). Well, when Nathan starts biting and pulling on the grass, he actually ends up lifting up the whole container (and making a huge mess in the process). A few minutes ago I was holding it down for him thinking he'd be able to pull the grass out then, but then the whole thing of dirt just lifted right out of the container.
Am I a dope? Is there something I'm missing here? Should I just let it grow longer and hope Nathan will be able to bite off the ends? I tried pulling a little bit out and giving it to him, but he's not interested in it that way. He thinks he's a cow--he wants to graze.
