There is a spray you can buy that is a deterrent

Hot Peppers. I fry up a bunch in the air fryer and then blend it to powder with my spice mill. Half \& half diatomaceous earth \& hot pepper will keep anything away. Skip the DE at first so it won’t harm the kitteh. A nose full of spice and it will leave that plant alone. I had a pill bug infestation and started putting the mix on the exposed root stem —huzzah!

Just make sure you prune the leaves the cats eat cause their saliva can kill the plants
