She loves to explore all the plants in my house,… _Posted by Carrie on 2025-08-13_ This is my cat Mia. She loves to explore all the plants in my house, including mine in my room. I always just keep my door shut when I’m out so she can’t get in but then it gets hot and sometimes I don’t want it closed. I do have some plants that are toxic to cats but I know she’s tried to eat at least one or two of them and she’s been perfectly fine, but I don’t want her eating my plants. We tried cat grass but that didn’t work and it eventually died. I used to have a spider plant, one tiny ugly one and another one I was propagating in water. She’d always eat them up so I gave up on them, but maybe I should give her her own spider plant to chew in my room instead of my other plants? Any advice would be appreciated 😭 don’t want my plants ruined and don’t want her eating toxic things ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-Vvl7ee9caBf-Zbxb2e_1OMgSQPd1Q6U0FEqxWBGw2k/aH1HIkfqT_mMC_wEBlv52w.webp?size=large) ## 11 comments ### Kat commented on 2025-08-13 Best thing I ever did was grow my cats some cat grass! The seed is super cheap on Amazon and it lasts about a week once it’s grown up. It helps with belly issues and it’s all around good for them! #### Carrie replied on 2025-08-13 Thank you so much! Should I keep it in my room or away from my other plants? #### Kat replied on 2025-08-13 I usually make 2 little batches and put them near their favorite spots (cat towers, favorite sleeping spot). I don’t put it by my plants but it’s in the same room. I make sure I tell them how good they are for eating their cat grass and not my plants ### inkibees commented on 2025-08-13 If she will go for spider plants i’d consider getting one just for her if it keeps her occupied/happy/safe. What I’m not sure about is where you should keep her plant, that’s more trial and error lol. Maybe get 2 little ones so she has an option in both your bedroom and elsewhere? #### inkibees replied on 2025-08-13 Also, I grew a pot with a mixture of cat grass (oat, barley, catnip and alfalfa I think?) and my boy loved it so much he wouldn’t let it grow lol. Only problem is he started pulling the dirt up because he evolved into a cow, so i had to take the bowl away before I had him digging too much lol #### Carrie replied on 2025-08-13 😂 thanks so much I’ll try both #### Kat replied on 2025-08-13 Honestly I would advise against this. As it’s cute and seems harmless, in the long run spider plants can cause vomiting and diarrhea. They mainly like spider plants due to them having a slight hallucinogenic effect for cats. Cat grass has a mix of barley, nip, wheat and other ingredients great for cats bellies, fur, and overall health. ### happysoxdonkey commented on 2025-08-13 Your cat is so cute! #### Carrie replied on 2025-08-13 Thanks! #### LittleMorningLatte replied on 2025-08-18 I got my own chunky girl ❤ ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/S6QRMiN_un-a4fAqRIfUYlaWbGER5q6-mj5kXW-AEHc/U6Ub-O0nSf2gPeTw52KE9A.webp?size=large) #### LittleMorningLatte replied on 2025-08-18 She doesn't go after any of my plants thankfully --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
