Can someone explain what is happening to this stem  
(There was a leaf growing but my cat got to it)  
I am watering the plant as instructed, should I be concerned about the overall health of my monstera?

If there’s no longer a leaf for the stem to support, it’s okay for it to naturally die off. Your plant looks great!

That’s great news! I can now stop worrying hahah, and also thank you I’ve been giving it all of my love and attention 🪴

Might want to make plant a little more inaccessible to your cat. Toxic to cats and dogs.
