Herbivorous cat

How do I stop the cat eating my plants and flowers?!? It's like she thinks she's some kind of goat.

I have eliminated any plants or flowers that could be poisonous to her so she's at no risk but she decimates them! Aside from the ones she can eat that is (grew cat grass for a while, she had no interest what so ever).

4 year old house cat. Good diet and generally healthy. I very occasionally have flowers and I have recently bought a house plant to cheer the living room up because we're inside so much. As soon as I turn my back for a second she's right in there chewing the leaves.

Please help me and my poor foliage. What can I do?

some cats just like the feel of plants in their teeth get her some cat grass to chew on inside maybe she will prefer it

Some cats chew plants to aid digestion. One of ours chewed the buggery out of a house plant when his stomach was a bit off.

I grew cat grass for her but she really wasn't bothered by it. It's almost like she does it because she knows I'd rather it lived!

Catmint? They can also eat broccoli

My cat is raw fed, she still chomps down on the plants, I have indoor hanging houseplants as well which helps.

Spider plants are mildly hallucinogenic to some cats.

@NewName54321 that's interesting. I had a spider plant growing up but we ended up overrun by the bloody things.
