The Cat Herb Growing Kit by Radis et Capucine brings fresh, safe greenery for your cat straight to your windowsill. The set contains everything you need: a sturdy terracotta bowl, coconut soil discs and two seed varieties – catnip (Nepeta cataria) and cat grass (barley). Within days, the first shoots appear and your feline friend can nibble to their heart's content.
- 1 terracotta bowl (cat-friendly shape, tip-resistant)
- 4 coconut soil discs (rehydrate with water)
- 1 packet of catnip seeds (Nepeta cataria)
- 1 packet of cat grass seeds (barley / Hordeum vulgare)
- Dimensions: 10 × 17 × 16 cm
- Hand-assembled in France (Anjou)
Catnip contains nepetalactone, a compound that triggers a euphoric response in cats. Roughly two thirds of all cats react: they roll, rub their faces on the plant, purr loudly and become playful. The effect lasts 10–15 minutes and is completely harmless.
Whether your cat responds is genetically determined – multiple genes are involved (polygenic inheritance). Kittens under 3–6 months show no reaction yet. Even big cats like lions and leopards respond to nepetalactone!
- Hairball relief: Fibres help cats naturally expel swallowed hair
- Folic acid: Grass provides vitamin B9, which is lacking in meat
- Digestion: The fibre stimulates healthy digestion
- Houseplant protection: Cats with their own grass are less likely to chew on houseplants – many of which are toxic (lilies, ivy, poinsettia!)
1. Place the 4 coconut discs in the bowl and pour lukewarm water over them. After 5 minutes, the soil is expanded and ready.
2. Scatter barley seeds evenly and press gently (0.5 cm deep). Catnip seeds go on top – they need light to germinate, do not cover.
3. Moisten with a spray bottle. Bright location, no direct midday sun. 18–22 °C.
4. Barley sprouts in 3–5 days. Catnip takes longer: 10–14 days to germinate, 6–8 weeks to full size.
5. Once grass reaches 8–10 cm, your cat can start enjoying it.
This compact kit (CHF 12.95) features 2 varieties and is perfect as a gift or first-time grow. The 12 Plants for My Cat Set (CHF 19.95) offers the full range: 12 different herbs and grasses including valerian, thyme, mint and lemon balm for a complete cat herb garden.
Is catnip safe for my cat?
Absolutely. Catnip is completely non-toxic. The euphoric effect wears off naturally after 10–15 minutes. There is no risk of addiction or overdose.
Will my cat react to catnip?
About 60–70% of cats respond to nepetalactone. It's genetic. Kittens under 6 months typically don't react yet.
How often do I need to re-sow?
Cat grass gets nibbled down after 2–3 weeks. Plan to re-sow every 2–3 weeks. Catnip grows bushier and lasts longer.
Does it work on a windowsill?
Perfectly! A bright east- or west-facing window is ideal. No garden needed.
