What’s is everyone’s solution to a cat chewing on or eating your plants? My daughter’s cat is chewing on our houseplants! Thankfully all of them are pet safe/non toxic, but we’d prefer he not eat on them!

Any suggestions/solutions?

Cat grass, or give him a spider plant

I had a friend that sprayed diluted lime juice on the plant areas her cat was munching. And then provided the cat it's own plant, like said above, she used a catnip plant though

Pet stores sell sprays that are very bitter to help keep pets from chewing wood furniture. I would wipe the favorite leaf they chew with it. It makes the plant/furniture repulsive to pets. Determine if it is harmful to plants, first. I used them on furniture many years ago when my dogs were chewing window sills and furniture legs.

You can also invest in a glass cabinet with shelving from ikea and put the plants in there :)

I instructed my brother to purchase floating shelves for his walls to keep the cats away

i saw someone put plastic forks in the soil facing tongs-up to deter their cat? no idea if it works but i thought it was funny
