Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden

Make a herb garden for your cat for your cat to roll in and rub itself against, so that it returns from the garden smelling pleasant and fresh. If you add herbs the cat loves, it'll chew on them as well, giving your cat good reason to spend time in its own herb garden.

Making the Herb Garden for the Cat

 * 1) Select basil, catnip, rosemary, lemon grass, lemon scented basil, lemon verbena and other scented, edible herbs. Ensure that the herbs can grow in your area and climate.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Have potting soil, or any kind of garden soil suited for herbs.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Use a small garden/digging shovel to dig holes deep enough for your herbs.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Grab the bag of soil and pour some in, then pat it against the ground.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5) Dig a hole with your shovel, but make it big enough for the plant to fit into. Take the plant out of its wrapper and put the plant in the ground. Make sure the brown part of the soil with your plant is in the ground and the leaves are out of the soil.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 5.jpg|center]]
 * 6) Ensure that the herbs aren't too crowded. Encourage your cat to sleep in the garden by leaving spaces for it to lie down in.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 6.jpg|center]]

Showing Your Cat Its Herb Garden

 * 1) Pick up your cat or attract it outside with a treat and set it next to the herb garden. Let it inspect and sniff and walk into it's garden.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 7.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Watch the cat. It may rub against the herbs, and lay down inside the garden on the soil. Remember, you should let your cat do this to get used to the garden.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 8.jpg|center]]
 * 3) As your cat comes in from outside sniff his fur. It will smell like herbs, and the smell is very good. If your cat is the type that cuddles next to you in bed, you will love it.[[Image:Make Your Cat Its Own Herb Garden Step 9.jpg|center]]
