Hi! I had the same problem. What worked was placing those cat wire things around the plants and covering every nearby surface with stuff so my cat couldn't stand near it.

Thanks! I’m gonna see if I can find a net or something similar to the device you have that can fit on the window sill

As you can see, I had to be creative about hanging it so it can surround the plants, I wish you luck, you're going to need it 😂

A temporary solution is orange peels, it worked for a bit but my cat stopped caring, should give you time to get it

You know what he actually does leave my lemons alone on the counter and he usually bites all the other produce I leave out. I think you’re onto something here with the citrus
