All four of our cats like to eat grass. Only one wants it in order to throw up. The other three just like the taste. Two of our four cats love catnip, fresh or dried. One will eat catnip just like regular grass. A fourth feline avoids catnip in any form. Our cats have nearly killed my spider plant with their desire for greens. So we grow catnip as well as safe grasses for them. Here is how you can, too.

Just as we had to childproof our home before our sons began to crawl, so we have had to catproof the parts of our home that our cats live in. Just use common sense. If you would not drink or eat something, be sure your cat can't either.
Of course, just as you would not give beer to a human baby, do not offer it to your cat, either (not that they'd take it anyway, since cats generally turn up their noses and run at the smell of alcohol).
All our cabinets with cleaning fluids and powders are locked or out of reach. If a cleaning agent can hurt a child, it can probably hurt a cat, too. The door to our garage is weighted so it cannot stay open by accident. Cats find spilled antifreeze attractive to drink. And drinking it will kill a cat.
