What to do if your cat has a thing for houseplants: Plan B when nothing else helps

Many cat owners are afraid to buy houseplants because they believe that these two phenomena are absolutely incompatible.

However, there are many effective ways to help protect your “green pets” from their furry “brothers”.

For example, you can put up obstacles to prevent your cat from getting into a flower pot.

This can be done using stones, pine cones, or even aluminum foil, which is commonly used in the baking process.

Alternatively, try to scare away animals by placing cotton balls soaked in lemon, lime or any other citrus juice near the flowerpot.

If none of these methods work, you should use the opposite method.

For a pet that enjoys gnawing on plants, it is worth purchasing plants specifically designed for them.

Place pots of cat grass near the place where your pet sleeps or eats – this way he will understand that the greenery is intended specifically for him.
