Growing a potted plant garden for your cat is rewarding for you and your precious pudda! Pick a sunny spot in your house or cat enclosure and place a few pots of your cat's favourite and safe plants. It looks good, smells good and IS good for both you and your cat's health! Make sure you plant them in pots shallow enough for your cat to reach the foliage.
