# Hello! I moved into an apartment in Florida from Seattle about a year…

_Posted by Mary on 2024-05-25_

Hello! I moved into an apartment in Florida from Seattle about a year ago. I had to rehome all of my plants in Seattle. I decided that I was going to buy some plants at the start of May. I now have 28 plants!! OMG, what have I done? I have two cats that like to eat plants. You name it, and they will eat it— even cacti! Truth. They bit off all the tips on my zebra plant. In Seattle, I resorted to cages around the plants.  
I want to show off my plants (without cages) and protect cats. I have macrame hangars, and I thought about floating shelves. Any suggestions to keep plants out of the way? I appreciate your thoughts!

i’ve heard that some people give their cats “cat grass”, and they are more likely to chew on that than other plants

I did that! My demon does start threatening my plants if the cat grass dies and I don’t have a new pot ready for him… I do a little rotation now and it keeps him more or less content

I have tried the cat grass, however they rip it out! In one day they will rip it out by the roots!
