Because of the furry pets, lovingly grown seedlings are always at risk.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained why containers with seedlings are so attractive to cats.

There are several reasons for this animal's behavior.

So, a cat may have an unhealthy interest in seedlings because it is looking for a way to have fun.

In addition, this is how she tries to cleanse the intestines from the hair that has accumulated in them.

Finally, in this way cats fight vitamin deficiency or are treated.

If you want to redirect your pet's attention, try planting special "cat" mixtures in separate boxes - they can be purchased at a pet store.

The cat's curiosity can be satisfied by setting up a new play area for it with a scratching post, toys and a bed. Walking with the animal in the fresh air and playing with the cat will also help.

Don't try to plant more seedlings to satisfy your cat's appetite - tomatoes and peppers can harm Murka, and such waste will cost a pretty penny.
