Cat grass

Katzengras

Guest

Dear Migros
You really need to educate your florists in Baar. You sell the Cyperus plant as cat grass. When I went to buy it yesterday, Saturday, the florist said it's definitely not for cats. In Zugerland Steinhausen they say we are no longer allowed to sell it as cat grass because the plant has barbs and is therefore not good for cats. What now? My cats like the longer cat grass better than the short one that is sold in rectangular trays. Is it cat grass or not? Above all, is the Cyperus good for the cats? If so, please write it down as cat grass too.
Thank you very much.

Hello Hutschly,

Since we live in the country and our cats have free run, they don't need cat grass, because they find the desired emetic in nature.

When "Aka", a young male cat, had an accident, he had to live in a box for about 2 months after the operation. During this time, he was occasionally given Cyprus grass (Cyperus zumula), which he apparently liked.

After five weeks of forced confinement in a converted 300 lt. boiler box, his laziness came to an end. "Aka" destroyed his prison and then played hide and seek with his siblings, "Akim", "Aisha" and "Anouk"!

Hello Istanbul
My cats are house cats, unfortunately they can't go outside but they don't know anything else.
Up to now I have always given them the Cyperus, but when the florist in the Migros Baar on Saturday said that it was not for cats, I became really suspicious. Also when in Steinhausen Zugerland the florist said that she had already received several complaints. So I'm still waiting for an answer from Migros. If it is suitable for cats, it should also be labeled as cat grass, otherwise it should not be placed where the cat grass is, as it can lead to confusion.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for Migros' opinion.
Do you now sell Cyperus as cat grass or not? And will it also be labeled as cat grass in future?
I can only speak for my 3 cats, they don't like the short grass in the rectangular packet, which is labeled and sold as cat grass.
