Hi everyone 👋. I’m brand new to this app. I have a very naughty 6 year old black cat. He is a monster for trying to eat/bite my plants. He will even try go for a cactus (ouch) so for the last few years, I’ve resorted to having them all in the kitchen which he is not allowed in. I have 40 ish plants and I am just running out of room for them all. Are there any tips for getting him to leave them alone and what helped you if you experienced this issue. Obviously I wouldn’t let him near any toxic plants regardless just in case. I’ll post with a funny photo of my spider plant then vs now the last time he got hold of it. As you’ll see, it recovered beautifully. Thank you. ☺️

      Aww, hes so cute! I’ve heard of placing citrus peels around plants but my boy Spike would probably try eat those too! He quite likes fruit. There’s not many foods that he won’t eat. Even loves things like celery and mango!

    Lmfao I have the same issue with my plant chomper as well. I’ve tried everything yet the little fien can’t help herself. Every night I have to move my desk chair to prevent her from going to town on some of my more expensive plants while I’m sleeping. It’s just going to be learning what prevents them from getting to it and preventing that (ie. moving the path to reach them like the chair for me) besides that I do what I can and remember I will miss the chomp marks when she is no longer with us.

    My cat doesn’t bother my plants EXCEPT when I am working from home, about 4-4:30, she will demand I feed her by chomping a plant near me. Can you imagine? What a brilliant, sneaky little pest she is. I have discovered that I can fix this problem by giving her a few treats to tide her over. I’ve tried keeping cat grass around, and that works, but she just goes through it so fast it only lasts a day or two.

      Spike will eat anything in his path haha. Whether I’m in the room or not. He’s got a huge box of toys. Gets treats. Plenty of food but always acts like he’s never been fed before in his whole life haha

    I read about offering cat grass plants to have them going for these instead (my Hades also loves snacking them). And I'm intrigued trying it that way

    This probably wouldn’t cover all of your plants, but could maybe help with a fair amount of them: I made a DIY greenhouse out of a glass cabinet from FB marketplace (many people also use Ikea cabinets) that keeps my pets out of the plants that are inside!
