Default How can I save my houseplants?!?

Is there any way to make my houseplants less appetizing to my cat?

Make Some For Your Cat. I Found Of You Plant Some Cat Nip In Small Pots And Keep Them Where Your Cat Can Get To Them.......they Will Leave The Rest Of Your Plants Alone.

Yes, I had the same problem, Mini my cat even pushed a pot off my dresser. I found something like lemon cleaner (lemon glass cleaner) used all over my plantes, the next time he licked or sniffed around my plants he snezed and left, this also works if you have something they don't like to eat put it in the pot, and your last option is to put something around them so the cat can't get to them, And if you have plants you think will if you spary something it will harm it? then move the plant somewhere else. hope this helps.

First make sure that your plants don't kill your cat. Some plants are poisonous. Okay, saving your plants requires work. If there's anything you can hang, it's time to get them into hanging baskets. All others should be placed high, however, where the cat can't climb onto something to reach. You might want to grow your cat his/her very own planter full of catnip and/or grass and that will make kitty less prone to messing with your plants. Good luck!

There are some pet repellents you can use on the surface of the soil. They smell a little like moth balls (so don't use too much). I believe these should work pretty well for cat's since their sense of smell is so acute.
