My cat has been DEVOURING my ponytail palm. Shes completely eaten up. At this point I keep her in the room and close the door. But is there hope she’ll keep growing based on how she’s looking? Is there stuff I can do to save her?

Elise, I had to walk away from your post. My heart sank for you when I saw your post/picture. So, from one plant momma to another…I get off at 5:30, I would GLADLY help you pack her kitty bowl and KICK her out. 🤣 my cat is working on his LAST chance

Hahaha yeah he’s not too pet friendly. I’m afraid my ponytail palm will not know peace 😂 hopefully keeping it separate from my cat gives her time to recover
