Many different plants are present in houses and apartments. They delight in their appearance and smell. But as soon as a pet shows up, problems can begin.

Many veterinary clinics also say to give cats vitamins. These cat pills are designed specifically to cleanse the stomach, but they do not help in most cases. A cat simply tastes so delicious, but the desired result does not happen. The favorite of the whole family continues to eat the leaves of all indoor plants. Therefore, you need to buy special seeds of indoor grass and plant them so that your favorite pets consume it. It will be safer for the animal and all other plants will remain intact.
