There were pet sprays that taste bad that I sprayed on a window sill to keep my pup of from chewing it while teething. It was years ago. The spray was very bitter and effective. I’m not sure if it was harmful to plants. I don’t even remember the name.

Perfect!! Thank you so much!

If those sprays are harmful maybe try lemon juice… I have never tried that though. That might be toxic maybe don’t listen to me🙃

Most cats dont like citrus so lemon is a good idea. You can also try putting coffee grounds in the soil that might help as well. Some cats dont like to stand on tin foil you can put that on the table. Or buy pet spikes on amazon if nothing else works.

Sprinkling Cayenne pepper is supposed to deter cats but my cats never stop so all of my plants are hanging on in a shelf now

…has worked for my two cats to leave the plants alone.
