While the owners are not looking, a cat can ruin the flowers on the windowsill, but it does not do this to cause mischief.
This could be a fairly serious problem that will require a visit to the veterinarian.
Common cases
Cats can enjoy the taste and smell of plants. Animals are attracted to the sweet or bitter taste of flowers.
The pet can use plants as objects for play. Animals play with leaves, flowers, stems, and at the same time gnaw them to satisfy hunting instincts.
The cat lacks attention from its owners, so it tries to fix this in every possible way.
Warning signs
Cats often chew on plants because of itchy and irritated gums. This can be caused by various reasons, such as allergies to pollen, bacteria, or other allergens.
In addition to oral diseases, there may be problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Cats often chew plants to induce vomiting. This is how they try to cleanse their stomach and cope with the feeling of nausea.
