Shelves, cabinets, and hooks to hang plants

Lil man opens my cabinets. Imma child proof them. Moved this one to a shelf after the last one he ate 😭 spraying the leaves doesn’t work either. Dude is a menace

I have a glass cabinet with a lock 😂 I get it though. My cats will even chomp on artificial plants

i studied animal behavior in college, try a negitive reinforcement. Try laying tinfoil on the table your plants are on, or a spray them with a spray bottle when they get near the plants. This doesn’t hurt them but there is a negitive consequence when they get near the item.

Read about the tinfoil. My whole living room is gonna be covered tomorrow 😅

lol good luck!

I wouldn’t recommend negative reinforcement coming from you for cats (like a spray bottle). Cats are much more likely to associate you with the negative stimulus than their actions and it has a higher likelihood of damaging your relationship with the cat rather than discouraging their behavior.

the tin foil is something i've tried! i have heard lots from friends that it works. my cat, however, is a complete menace and does NOT care about the tin foil😂

#### PlantLady ha respondido el 2024-03-24

Yeah the tin foil is good to try because they won’t associate it with you. I tried but my cats didn’t care.
