Hey everyone:) my first post here! I just got my cats a catio and was wondering what plants would be best to add to it. I live in zone 4 and it’s in a shadier place. Most of the ground in and around the catio is sandy/ not the best kind of dirt… thanks!

I know cats love spider plants if you’re able to have a pot. They treat it as if it’s catnip (which would be another good thing to grow)

We have a lot of spider plants😂 that’s a great idea!

Oh, when I lived in a house my baby had a catio and she loved it so much. If you can grow a patch of cat grass they'll be so happy!

Definitely:) I’ve got a bag of cat grass seeds around here somewhere… I think… I might order another just in case lol
