You can find many tricks on the internet for keeping your cat away from plants. But not all these tips are good for your cat's or plant’s health.
Here are some safe things you can do to help keep the plants safe and your kitty on your lap.
Training your cat to stay away from plants can be a long process, but well worth it. Unfortunately, this solution only works if you are at home most of the time to monitor their behavior.
Rosemary and lavender are some examples of plants that cats dislike. Plants with thorns might also keep them away, but your furry friend could also end up with a thorn in their soft paw.
There are many repellent sprays made with smells that cats dislike. Felines generally don’t like citrus and highly fragranced smells like lavender.
You can cover all the loose soil with something sturdy, like large decorative pebbles, pine cones, or seashells.
Try placing aluminum foil around the base of the plant to keep your pet away. Cats dislike the noisy sound of the foil.
Moving your plants from their place on the floor or table may help them to live longer. A plant that is easy to reach for your cat makes for an appealing plaything.
