How do I keep my cat from eating my plant?

1. Take Chili powder (the spice you cook with) and lightly dust or sprinkle your plants. This works great. Cats will not touch them again if the chili powder stays on. Make sure when watering you don’t rinse the chili all off.

2. Place double-sided sticky tape on the area surrounding the plant. Your cat will hate how this feels on his/her paws and soon stop going there.

3. Place aluminum foil on the area surrounding the plant. Most cats hate this feeling on their feet.

4. One good solution is to put plant stakes around the outside of your cat's favorite plants. This can create a barrier such that your cat can't even get to the off-limit plants.

5. Place upside down mouse traps on the area surrounding the plant and then put a piece of wax paper over that (some pet stores even have an official version of this old home-made trick). When your cat walks on the wax paper it will get an unsuspecting scare. After a while your cat will learn that this area is more trouble than it is worth. This method can be tricky so be careful that your cat doesn't accidentally get him/herself caught in a trap.

6. - Place plastic liners bottom side up (with the little pokey parts facing up) surrounding the plant. Your cat will not like how that feels on his/her paws at all.

7. - Purchase a cat repellant spray at your local pet store. Just make sure that the spray will be safe for your specific plants.

8. Spray the top and bottoms of the leaves with some diluted perfume. The cat will follow the smell and try to nibble on the plant. That normally will be followed by a mad dash to the water bowl to get rid of the taste.

9. Another method to treat your plants is to use Grannick’s Bitter Apple® Spray on them. The product is not harmful but the taste is bad (for cats and dogs). A few licks of Bitter Apple will cure your cat from ever touching the plant again.

No REMEMBER Some plants are poisonous.

What about HANGING them... then he doesn't have access.

No table plant is going to be safe.

there is no spray (unless it is water) that will deter him. So you might sit and just squirt him each time he goes near it.

the only other thing I can think of is put it in a bird cage!

Do you provide grass for him to eat? This might be the solution... get a plant that you WANT him to eat!

good luck >^..^<

Plants can be poisonous to cats so keep them out of reach. I have never heard of a spray to deter a cat. He eats them as a natural medicine for his stomach.

Be careful what plants you get, some that seem harmless are toxic to cats.

Provide a healthy alternative to your floras.

Pick up some cat grass at your local pet store. It comes pre-seeded in a little base and you just water it like a chia-pet. My cats started to prefer it to my house plants, it must be more yummy.

In the herb section of your local nursery you will find a plant called cat nip,get some of this & place some in with your plants.

Put the plant out of the cat's reach.

REMEMBER that animals tend to eat plants, when they have stomach problems...maybe u should get ur cat plants that he can eat...its natural for them...and he maybe needs the plants his eating! i know that there is a type of plant for cats to eat but im not sure what its called..sorry...google it! well hope everything is better! :)

Well, our neighbour's cat used to poop on our lawn, i heard putting lemon juice deters cats...we did this and it seemed to work...however not sure how good lemon juice would be for the plant...!!!

Nope. The first time my cat ate my roses, I flipped out. Now my husband gets me chocolate. :P

Rat poison is great!

Spray rat poison on your flowers! Your flowers will smell beautiful and your cat will be completely blown away by it! (LITERALLY!)
