Hahah thank you!

Some cats are repelled by the smell of mint or eucalyptus. However mint oils can be toxic if they ingest the mint. Which is odd because catnip is in the mint family.

I do have mint in my kitchen, maybe I can try putting it close to my fern! Thank you for the advice!

Tie the cats to the ceiling, so that they are dangling by some yarn. I have more ideas too, so let me know if you would like to hear them. 🧶🐈🩸

🤣 no cats. No problems.

I try to keep the most desirable by my cats out of reach. spider plants, ferns, and similar types. Other than that I have no expectations.

#### lilyinafrogpond님이 2026-10-14에 답변했습니다.

Sometimes I wish I can just get massive nets to put all around my house plants but knowing my cats they can get through anything😅

I have moved my fern to a different spot in the kitchen that they typically don’t go to and so far so good because there aren’t any more fallen leaves 👍🏻
