Feline: Meowie Christmas

Rod is wishing all of you a Meowie Christmas and a happy/ prosperous
New Year.

              1.How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers !


2.But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.

3.He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither ; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

4.The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5.Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6.For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
 

                  Psalm 1 NASB

LIFE: A Fountain of Life

What if you could drink from a fountain that would make you live for a thousand years without pain, sickness, or any fear of death. During this thousand years you would be a ruler under a great king. A great king who is ruling over the entire world.

After the thousand years you would watch this great king  burn up the present heavens and earth and create a new heavens and earth that would continue forever with no more death. Yes, you would get to rule with Him forever.

Sounds too good to be true? Well that's what a lot of people think.
Too bad they won't consider the evidence. They are willing to believe any false claims about the Bible. Most people don't want to know this great king. But this great king wants all people to know Him.
This is no fairy tale. Every person who lives must make a choice to believe the gospel or not.



Proverbs 14:27 NASB
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, That one may avoid the snares of death.

Snare: A device, as a noose, for catching birds or animals; a trap. Anything by which one is entangled or entrapped. Funk & Wagnall's Standard Desk Dictionary     

Fountain: A spring or jet of water issuing from the earth; esp. , the source of a stream. 2. The origin or source of anything. Funk & Wagnall's Standard Desk Dictionary

Revelation 20:1-6 NASB
1.1.Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

2.And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years ;
3.and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed ; after these things he must be released for a short time.
4.Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand ; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5.The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
6.Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection ; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Revelation 21:1-6 New American Standard Bible

1.Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth ; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
2.And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
3.And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
4.and He  will wipe away every tear from thier eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying or pain; the first things have passed away."
5.And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."
6.Then He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. Emphasis Added

1 John 5:1 NASB
    1.Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

John 4: 9-15 NASB
9.Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman ?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10.Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11.She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep ; where then do You get that living water?
12."You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle ?"
13.Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again ;
14.but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
15.The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw." Emphasis Added

Health: This Sweetener Should Be a Sin.

                                                                 

I bought a sweetener at Trader Joe's. It's made with the blue agave
 plant. An 11.75 oz. bottle costs about $3.50. It tastes so good
that it should be a sin, but it turns out to be OK. It's called "Organic
Blue Agave Sweetener". The sweet mild taste is perfect for

sweetening beverages, baking and as a multipurpose sweetener.
HOWEVER: Not all agave nectars are equal.
Here are some quotes from...
www.blueagavenectar.com/notallagavesarecreatedequal.html


"Things you should know about Agave in the market. There are only 3 major producers of Agave Nectar in the world. Nekutli, IIDEA and us. You may see different brand names but the agave comes from these sources. Nekutli doesn't use Blue Agave Nectar, but uses "maguey" to produce their syrup. For some reason these other products contain unnatural sugars that are non existent in pure Agave Nectar (*Maltose, Sucrose, *Mannitol and others according to their chemical breakdown). These sugars are not healthy for those who monitor their blood sugar or are buying Agave because of a medical condition or for a healthy lifestyle. Our Agave Nectar is the only agave which contains 100% agave nectar produced today and does not contain these foreign sugars. The best agave for your body must be low in fructose (less than 50%), low in glucose and cannot contain any other sugars. We get a lot of questions about which agave's come from which companies. Just ask the company to see their chemical breakdown testing to see if they have any foreign sugars".
                                       

                                                                        

"In recipes, use about 75% less of this nectar than you would use of table sugar. 1/4 cup of agave nectar should equal 1 cup of table sugar. For most recipes this rule works well.

Agave Nectar has met the "food exchange requirements" by the American Diabetic Association and American Dietetic Association for product labeling! The benefits that can be derived from using Agave Nectar as your sweetener are numerous: * Agave Nectar is low glycemic. It will not over stimulate the production of insulin."

"If you are using Agave Nectar from any source other than Volcanic Nectar I hope it isn't for health reasons."


I haven't tried "Volcanic Nectar" yet, but I guess it is the best brand for your health.
Here is thier link....

This brand costs more but I think it is worth the price. Plus you can buy it in 55 gallon drums. So lets get it.

HEALTH: Avoid Flouride

This is a quote from....... www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/intermediate_beverages.htm .... click here to see this report. 



"Did you know that nearly all of Europe used to add fluoride to their water supply, but after studying the issue more carefully, most of them decided to remove it?

Fluoridating drinking water for dental health is a swindle of massive proportions. Starting it off with a simple truth: that a natural form of fluoride (organic calcium phosphate) is part of the composition of your teeth, they were able to convince everyone that drinking toxic chemical fluoride compounds – the waste materials from fluoride-polluting industries – would be good for your teeth.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Fluoride is in fact a systemic POISON that:

•inactivates 62 different enzymes
•increases lead absorption
•increases the aging process
•increases the incidence of cancer and tumor growth
•disrupts your immune system
•lowers thyroid function
•causes genetic damage
•interrupts DNA repair-enzyme activity
•increases arthritis
•reduces IQ, and impairs learning and memory processes
Other sources of fluoride that you want to limit or eliminate to reduce your exposure include:

•Fluorophenyl-containing pharmaceutical drugs
•Toothpaste and mouthwash
•Food and beverages processed with fluoridated water
•Mechanically de-boned meat
•Pesticide residue on food
•Soy baby formulas

•Instant tea"

Doctor Mercola suggests that a reverse osmosis system will
remove floiride from your water .  He also says that you absorb
toxins through your shower water.


Here is a link for one brand of home water filters.


www.qualitywaterfilters4you.com/index.html

You'll find whole house and countertop filters that can remove flouride . Also, shower filters that remove a lot of contaminants but the shower filters don't have the ability to remove all flouride. There are some shower filters that claim to remove 40% of the flouride. Just type in the search bar "Flouride-shower filters".

You can get toothpaste without flouride at http://www.vitacost.com/ .
I'm wishing you good health.
                                                                                 

FELINE: Eye Redness

This is "Mommy cat". She's ready for us to set the table for dinner. Actually, she's wondering why it's taking soo long. That's my chair but she hates to give it up to me. She loves cheese (thanks to my father in law). She has a sense of smell like a bloodhound. If you open a cheese wrapper in the kitchen she'll be there soon. At first I tell her, no you can't have any cheese. It's not good for you to eat a lot of cheese. But she just keeps staring at me with those accusing eyes. OK! OK. Give me a minute to cut it up. So I have to cut it into little tiny pieces. If the pieces are too big, then we're back to the accusing eyes.

Over the years I've had a lot of kitty cats. We lived in a house with an open crawlspace and the feril cats would go under the house to have kittens. Well as soon as the kittens started coming outside I would start taming them. As soon as they got big enough we would adopt them out. If we couldn't tame them we would trap them and get them fixed. We always had our hands full while we lived there. Sometimes there would be a cat or two with red on the skin around the eyes. So I would brew some eyebright tea and wash thier eyes using a cotton ball with eyebright tea. It always worked. I would buy the bulk eyebright herb at the health food store. After brewing, I would strain it through a coffee filter before using.

I was such a caveman. Recently I found the modern option. Just go to

     Check out this website. Please take the time to read
it all.

In a past article I recomended olive oil for low to medium
heat cooking. Of course extra virgin olive oil is probably best
for this heat range. However, for higher heat cooking
virgin coconut oil is probably the best choice.

HEALTH: Cosmetic Data Base

     I used the "Cosmetic Data Base" to find the least toxic

organic deodorant. They have a "score key" button: green,

yellow or red and one through ten for degree of risk. An

example is "Right Guard Sport Deodorant Aerosol, Fresh".

This product has a red button and a score of 8,
"high hazard". Some of the catagories of concern are
cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, allergies/
 immunotoxicity, etc. They give a list of ingredients and
explain the risks of each in detail.

     The very next product following the "Right Guard"

is "FDS Feminine Deodorant Spray" with the same
score and "high hazard". Hmmmm? Wonder why we're

all getting sick?

     So I decided to order "Lafe's Deodorant Spray

Lavendar" from http://www.vitacost.com/ . It's priced at $3.96.
This product has a green button and a score of 0.
"Low hazard" I'll give it a try. Then I'll write a review
on the Data Base website.

     They have eight major catagories. Makeup,

skin care, hair care, eye care, nail care, baby care,

oral care and fragrance.

     Check it out. It's a great resource to help you stay

LIFE - Poem: The Lord Our Righteousness

A poem from http://www.thruthebible.com/

JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU*


I oft read with pleasure

to soothe or engage

Isaiah’s wild measure

or John’s simple page.

But e’en when they pictured

the blood-sprinkled tree,

Jehovah-Tsidkenu was nothing to me.

Like tears from the daughters

of Zion that roll

I wept when the waters

went over His soul.

Yet thought not that my sins

had nailed to the tree

Jehovah-Tsidkenu was nothing to me.

When free grace awoke me

by light from on high,

Then legal fears shook me

I trembled to die.

No refuge, no safety

in self could I see,

Jehovah-Tsidkenu my Saviour must be.

My terrors all vanished

before that sweet name.

My guilty fears banished,

with boldness I came

To drink at the fountain

life-giving and free,

Jehovah-Tsidkenu is all things to me.

--Robert Murry McCheyne

* “Jehovah-Tsidkenu”: “The Lord Our Righteousness” (Jeremiah 23:6; Lamentations 2-5)

LIFE: The Heavens

Psalms89:5-11 NASB

5.The heavens will praise Your wonders, O LORD ; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
6.For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD ? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD,
7.A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?
8.O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD ? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. 9.You rule the swelling of the sea ; When its waves rise, You still them.
10.You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain ; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11.The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.


Psalms 19:1-6 NASB

1.The heavens are telling of the glory of God ; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2.Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.
3.There is no speech, nor are there words ; Their voice is not heard.
4.Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
5.Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber ; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6.Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Psalms 108:4-5 NASB


4.For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the skies.
5.Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth.



Isaiah 13:13 NASB
13.Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger.

.

Isaiah 34:1-4 NASB
God's Wrath against Nations
1.Draw near, O nations, to hear ; and listen, O peoples ! Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2.For the LORD'S indignation is against all the nations, And His wrath against all their armies ; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to slaughter.
3.So their slain will be thrown out, And their corpses will give off their stench, And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.
4.And all the host of heaven will wear away, And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll ; All their hosts will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree.


Isaiah 42:5-8 NASB
5.Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it,
6."I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations,
7.To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison .
8."I am the LORD, that is My name ; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.

Psalms 2:12 KJV
12.Kiss the Son, lest he be angry , and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

HEALTH: GMO and G+O+D

I am going to address an issue that is an assault on the health of the population of our entire country. GMOs

What's a GMO? (This quote is from ....................http://www.responsibletechnology.org/)

"A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to obtain a desired trait or characteristic, hence they are also known as transgenic organisms. This process may be called either Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM); they are one and the same."



It has been said that GMO can also stand for God move over.

Quotes from responsibletechnology.org
"Genetic engineering is completely different from traditional breeding and carries unique risks."

"In traditional breeding it is possible to mate a pig with another pig to get a new variety, but is not possible to mate a pig with a potato or a mouse. Even when species that may seem to be closely related do succeed in breeding, the offspring are usually infertile—a horse, for example, can mate with a donkey, but the offspring (a mule) is sterile."

"With genetic engineering, scientists can breach species barriers set up by nature. For example, they have spliced fish genes into tomatoes. The results are plants (or animals) with traits that would be virtually impossible to obtain with natural processes, such as crossbreeding or grafting."

What combinations have been tried?
"It is now possible for plants to be engineered with genes taken from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Scientists have worked on some interesting combinations:

• Spider genes were inserted into goat DNA, in hopes that the goat milk would contain spider web protein for use in bulletproof vests.
• Cow genes turned pigskins into cowhides.
• Jellyfish genes lit up pigs' noses in the dark.
• Artic fish genes gave tomatoes and strawberries tolerance to frost.
• Potatoes that glowed in the dark when they needed watering.
• Human genes were inserted into corn to produce spermicide.
  
• Current field trials include:
• Corn engineered with human genes (Dow)
• Sugarcane engineered with human genes (Hawaii Agriculture Research Center)
• Corn engineered with jellyfish genes (Stanford University)
• Tobacco engineered with lettuce genes (University of Hawaii)
• Rice engineered with human genes (Applied Phytologics)
• Corn engineered with hepatitis virus genes (Prodigene)
  
  Currently Commercialized GM Crops in the U.S.:
  (Number in parentheses represents the estimated percent that is genetically modified.)
  Soy (91%)
  Cotton (88%)
  Canola (80-85%)
  Corn (85%)
  Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%)
  Alfalfa, zucchini and yellow squash (small amount)
  Tobacco (Quest® brand)"

I try to avoid all soy products. That's no easy task. I don't use canola oil (knowingly). But hey! Corn? I love corn products! Well this is certainly a problem.

Well, you can see that this is a huge undertaking and so far I have only scratched the surface.

"and God saw that it was good."

Genesis 1:11-12 NASB

11.Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation : plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so.
12.The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind ; and God saw that it was good.

Gen. 1:24-25 NASB

24.Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind : cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind "; and it was so.
25.God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind ; and God saw that it was good.

Gen. 1:27 NASB

27.God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

GEN. 1:31 NASB

31.God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Well, God said that what He made was "very good" but man wants to be god. Who can fathom the sickness and ill health being brought upon the human race by these mad scientists?

HEALTH: Fabric Softener Poisoning

I found an article on fabric softeners that I feel I should share. The less poison we are exposed to the better. Right?
Here is a quote from Jeremy Steven's Weblog.

"Did you know that Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets, although they “make” your clothes feel soft and smell fresh, they are some of the MOST TOXIC product around. Chances are that if anyone really knew what was in these products as well as common commercial detergents, bleaches & stain removers, they would think twice.

Try this list on for size……this is not an end all list:

•Benzyl Acetate – linked to pancreatic cancer
•Benzyl Alcohol – Upper respiratory tract irritant
•Ethanol – On the EPA’s hazardous waste list and can cause central nervous system disorders
•Limonene – Known carcinogen
•A-Terpineol – Can cause respiratory problems, including fatal adema, and central nervous system damage
•Ethyl Acetate – A narcotic on the EPA’s Hazardous waste list
•Camphor – Causes central nervous system disorders
•Chloroform – Neurotic, anesthetic and carcinogenic
•Linalool – Narcotic that causes central nervous disorders
•Pentane – Chemical known to be harmful if inhaled
So, how could brand products that we have grown to know and LOVE with pretty names like Soft Ocean Mist, Downey, Summer Orchard and April Fresh be so dangerous?"

Here is a link to the full article on fabric softener. Just click on it.


http://jeremystephan.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/fabric-softener-to-be-or-not-to-be/

Jeremy sugests trying 1/4 cup baking soda in the wash cycle for softening and/or 1/4 cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to help with static cling and softening.
Hey! If it works you'll save some money and mabe be a lot healthier. Then if you want to smell nice put on a dash of cologne.

LIFE: God Was Manifest in the Flesh

1 Timothy 3:16 KJV

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, recieved up into glory.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:14-16 The church is the house of God; he dwells there. The church holds forth the Scripture and the doctrine of Christ, as a pillar holds forth a proclamation. When a church ceases to be the pillar and ground of truth, we may and ought to forsake her; for our regard to truth should be first and greatest. The mystery of godliness is Christ. He is God, who was made flesh, and was manifest in the flesh. God was pleased to manifest himself to man, by his own Son taking the nature of man. Though reproached as a sinner, and put to death as a malefactor, Christ was raised again by the Spirit, and so was justified from all the false charges with which he was loaded. Angels ministered to him, for he is the Lord of angels. The Gentiles welcomed the gospel which the Jews rejected. Let us remember that God was manifest in the flesh, to take away our sins, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These doctrines must be shown forth by the fruits of the Spirit in our lives.

Health: Microwave Sickness

I have not used a microwave for many years. There is plenty of information about the hazards of microwave cooking. Go to http://www.mercola.com/ then type "microwave" in the search bar. You'll find about 120 articles on microwaves.

A healthy alternative to microwave cooking is the "Turbo Oven" http://products.mercola.com/turbo-oven/

Please note: I have no affiliation with Turbo Oven, I just think it's a good idea.

Happy cooking. Stay healthy. Care about your health.

Health: Is Soy Milk a Good Idea?

I never drink soy milk. I have heard of too many ill affects from soy milk.

Here are some links to consider.
http://www.mercola.com/ When you get to Dr, Mercola's website, use his search bar and type in soy.
http://www.wholesoystory.com/

There is plenty of evidence about the harmful effects of soy products. Dr. Mercola has a wealth of information on soy.

Is it possible that the public has been misled?

The Ultimate Feral Cat?...House Cat?

CHRISTIAN THE LION.

Here is a quote from Wickipedia.org

"Christian was a lion originally purchased by Australians John Rendall and Anthony "Ace" Bourke from Harrods department store of London in 1969 and ultimately reintroduced to the wild by conservationist George Adamson. One year after George Adamson released Christian to the wild, his former owners decided to go looking for him in Africa to see whether Christian would remember them. Surprisingly, he did and with him were other lions in the pride who were also friendly."





John and Ace raised Christian the lion in a city environment.
Christian was their pet and friend. He got too big..... well, he
became an adult lion. So they decided to release him in the wild where he belongs. Then after a year in the wild, learning to hunt
and kill for food John and Ace decided to visit Christian the lion.

Isaiah 11:6-9 NIV
Emphasis added.

6. The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.

7. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
8. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest.
9. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.


My comment: In that day, if you are there, we will be able to have a lion for a pet if we want to. The lions will eat straw. OK, so we don't have to buy any more cat food. We'll just grow straw.

In this posting I have combined two of my categories, FELINE and LIFE.

Romans 8:19-22 NASB
For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.


John 1:10-13 NASB
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Gourmet Mixed Greens for Cats and/or Small Dogs

I bought a pack of "organically grown seeds for kitties" at OSH
hardware. It contains rye, oats, barley, and wheat greens. I start three or four containers at a time. When they are well grown I put them where the cats hang out and they do the rest.
The brand is "Renee's Garden", http://www.reneesgarden.com/ . It
cost $5.99 for 60 grams of seeds. Some cats love it and others don't seem to notice it. I think that it might be a favorite treat for small dogs too if you place it in a strategic place.

You can see that Mommy cat loves it.

But the aligators don't care for it.





Anyway, it's just a good idea for some needed nutrition for our
furry friends.


Two other brands for "cat grass" are:

1. "Sweet Greens"

For about $3.oo you'll get 28 grams of oat seed and a small tub of potting soil. That's enough seeds for a couple of plantings.

2."Vita-Greens"

About the same price you'll get 30 grams of seeds. Three types of grass seeds (Barley, Oat and Wheat). Again, enough for 2 plantings.

I picked up these two at Wall-Mart. A little cheaper than the pet food stores.

You might consider picking up organic seeds in bulk at "Rayley's" grocery stores, etc. I'm not sure if these will sprout, so don't buy too much at a time.

Once you bring the sprouted grass indoors it will gradually loose vitality so keep sprouting more for a happy kitty.
