I gave up on trying to keep plants in windows after the first cat and by cat three, I had to completely reorganize my living room because she's relentless in her attempts to unalive herself via toxic plants 😂

I have a cabinet and shelving now. The shelves with plants are high enough that they can't reach them from their hind legs. The shelves also have a lot of little nicknacks on them to make sure no one tries jumping up there

This is my first time trying to do cats and plants together- I’m considering just buying a spider plant for the area next to her spot and letting her have at it!  
I love your set up, I just wish I had more space for something like that
