Put orange peel in the pots? Or tin foil?

Poor thing - she just wants to be a tiger in the trees. Instinct and all that.

Does she have a name yet?

"Plants
Cats are frequently fascinated with houseplants. However, you may not appreciate the attention, which can range from chewing on the plant leaves to digging or peeing in the plant soil.
For chewing, try spraying Bitter Apple or Bitter Orange (there are formulations specifically for use on plants) on the leaves. Dusting cayenne pepper on them may also help. You may wish to grow some grass or catnip for them as an alternative; plants do provide them with needed nutrients (the absence of which may be causing their grazing).

For digging or urinating, cover the dirt with aluminum foil or gravel. If the plant needs it, add some vinegar to the soil to counteract the ammonia in the urine.

Our 15yo cat does a lot worse than sleeping in our plants [bleugh]

Physical barriers (basically, make them uncomfortable/inaccessible/both) are the only solution we have found.

small row of cocktail sticks?

house plants are a thing of the past here too......i do miss them...but the kittens are cuter.

get rid of the plants now

you won't have time to water, dust and shine their leaves when you become a working woman
