What to do if your cat is partial to indoor plants: 5 tips that will save both your pet and the flowers
Pet owners often notice that their pets show genuine interest in their houseplants.
There are several reasons for this passion: a cat hunts flowers because of the natural needs of the body, lack of vitamins, curiosity, etc.
Flowers and cats: how to solve the problem
1. Plant some cat-friendly grass in your home. Oats, wheat, and catnip are all great options – any of these can be purchased at a pet store.
2. Enrich your pet's diet with vegetables. If the cat does not show much interest in them, you will have to seek help from a veterinarian who will prescribe the necessary vitamins.
3. Protect your plants from your cat by placing foil around the pots. Double-sided tape also works well. When your pet stops being interested in the flowers, you can remove the protective equipment.
4. Place orange, lemon or tangerine peels in or near the pots. Strong smells are unpleasant for cats, and they will try to stay away from the source of such an aroma.
You can also mix pepper with water and spray the plants with this solution - if you are sure that it will not harm them.
5. Finally, the most logical solution is to place the pots in a place that is difficult for the cat to reach. For example, hang them from the ceiling or place them in a room that is closed to the cat.
