Surely many have encountered the fact that cats have an incredible interest in indoor plants.
Cut flowers in vases often do not go unnoticed.
It's always interesting to understand the reasons.
Why are cats so interested in flowers?
Curiosity
First of all, it is worth remembering the natural curiosity of cats: they are interested in almost everything. Therefore, it is not surprising that they are also interested in plants.
Free space
If the window sill was previously at the cat's complete disposal, and now it has been "captured" by flowers, then the pet will do everything to return what was lost.
For this reason, you can see animals knocking over flower pots and vases.
Smells
It is worth remembering that cats have a well-developed sense of smell. For this reason, any new smell becomes interesting. Some animals can even taste plants.
This is the most dangerous thing, since many flowers are toxic to cats.
For these reasons, cats need to be weaned off their interest in plants from a very early age.
